The Valle Pineta offers stunning scenery with jagged mountains on three sides. Great for hiking and for accessing the Monte Perdido and Oropesa national park. In winter it also offers cross country skiing. Easy access into France and the skiing there.

We came to Nerin to see and hike this canyon after one week hiking in and around the Ordesa near Torla. This Canyon has quite different charateristics than the Faja trails in Ordesa. It is like a slot canyon cut through by a river. We started from the second parking after having entered the canyon from the side of Nerin. The hike is slightly less strenuous than in Ordesa, has shade most of the time (quite sunny and hot in July) and yet beautiful. We hiked until La Ripareta where we took a rest and soaked our feet in the chilling river. Then we continued until Pasarela Los Estrechos where there is another waterfall, a bridge and rocks to sit on. This second part was slightly more difficult than the first part, yet manageable if one is normally fit. It is not a circular treck. We decided to back track after rest point at Pasarela Los Estrechos. This canyon is less known and less touristic. However, we rate the hike higher than those in the Ordesa. The logistic of this canyon is also less convenient. If you enter from the side of Nerin by car, you have to park your car in the first parking and walk down the road for minimum 30 minutes to hike into the canyon at the second parking. The second parking can only be reached by car from the side of Vio. This main part of the canyon can be driven though but in one direction, from south to north. We found this arrangement very inconvenient. The way how it is "designed" confirms that it is not catered for mass tourism, unlike in the Ordesa. However, it is free of charge :-))

Monastery of San Juan de la Peña (really two monasteries, the old and new ones) is located in the surroundings of Jaca, on mountains. In fact, it is also a picnic place, where can come all family to stay a day with a childen park and picnic tables close to the parking. Also, near the parking there is the new monastery, where you can see remains and a exposition about the history of old and new ones. Really interesting. After, we catch a bus to go to the old monastery (some kilometers far) and we could visit it in a guided visit. It is a building inside the rocks, so it is wonderful and curious. The guided visit was very interesting and the last cloister is fantastic. A very recommendable visit.

As the size of the car park suggests, Ainsa is most definitely on the tourist trail, yet when we visited it was blissfully quiet. Having parked the car, we walked through the large empty square in the fort and my immediate thoughts were that Ainsa is over-hyped. Fortunately, the Plaza Major is the next one along and it is beautiful. The cobbled square is surrounded by lovely old buildings with archways at ground level that give access to cool walkways and the various shops and restaurants within. After having a stroll around the lovely village, we sat at an outdoor table in the square enjoying coffee and simply enjoying the peace and quiet of this enchanting place. And having said that, I realise how lucky we were and that when the tourist coaches arrive it won’t be quite as peaceful.

Take time for this. A lot to see in the one area of the fort. The fort alone is amazing and the museum within is special. If you have an interest in anything military or are interested in French history then this will suit you. It is nice just to stroll around outer walls as well. Certain times of year it closes at 2.00 pm, so this happened to us and we were a bit rushed.
