We took bus from Torla to the park. They go every 20-30 min and cost around 4 Euro. Once you reach the park, you can have hot drink and a snack in the only restaurant. It was quite cool in the morning (in the beginning of Sept, 8 am, 13 degrees), but by the end of the trip it became hot under the sun. We climbed up to the main viewpoint (Mirador de Calcilarruego - the view was amazing), then went along the canyon to the waterfall (Cola de Caballo), after that went through the valley back to the bus. The waterfall and river were quite dry but still beautiful. Whole trip took us 9 hrs. The easier option (and the only option if it is raining) is to avoid climbing and just walk through the valley to waterfall and back.

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 :-))

This display in Spain is something to behold. The artists who made these exhibits must be very skilled. Very cheap admission price and well worth the time to visit in this central location.

Breathtaking, Awe-Inspiring, Magnificent, these are just a few words to describe this Amazing Cathedral!!! From the statuary to the artwork, the pews to the ceilings, I was at a loss for words!! This Church still holds services and I was lucky enough to be there to observe and pray, and though the service was in Spanish it was a beautiful and spiritual experience. Inside, a Roman-style pillar is topped by a statue of the Virgin Mary and baby Jesus that dates from the fifteenth century. It is housed in a chapel of marble, jasper, and gilded bronze that forms almost a church-within-a-church. You can also go to the back of the chapel, where people can kneel and kiss the pillar itself. It is a must see for anyone!!

If you want to see a Arabic Palace in Zaragoza, make sure to visit the Palacio de la Aljaferia! Its a beautiful UNESCO World Heritage Sight-and medieval palace built during the second half of the 11th century in the Taifa of Zaragoza in Al-Andalus, present day Zaragoza, Aragon, Spain. It was the residence of the Banu Hud dynasty during the era of Abu Jaffar Al-Muqtadir. The palace reflects the splendour attained by the Taifa of Zaragoza at the height of its grandeur. It currently contains the Cortes (regional parliament) of the autonomous community of Aragon. The Arabic and Islamic influences are everywhere, from the arches and geometric patterns to the latticework. The gardens are breathtaking as well. Though empty of any furnishings, you can almost imagine The Sultan himself there in te year 1065 - he called it Qasr al-Surur" (Palace of the Joy) and to see the throne room which he presided over receptions was just amazing! Adults: €5. With a Young Person, Student or Pensioners (over 65) card: €1. Groups (over 20 people) and with Tourist Bus ticket: €4 per person. Children 0-12 years: Free.

I would recommend to stay at least a night in the hotel on site. Unfortunately we went for the day from Zaragoza and could not enjoy to the full extent this wonderful park and monastery. The restaurant Piedra Vieja was offering a fixed menu for 13 euros that include three course of decent quality. Driving to this place is a beautiful journey too the landscape is magical. Do no miss it!

We went to Albarracin when we drove from Valencia to Madrid. And this small little village lives up to all the hype that surrounds it. Totally medieval, hidden among the mountains you don't see it until you are actually there. Spend the night here to get the full charm.
