Nice Castle with decent restoration and pretty close to the highway on our way to Zaragoza. We stayed in the parking lot for the night with amazing views of the village and valley below the castle. And with no clouds you get a sky full of stars! Entrance fee for the castle was 11€ for 2 adults and 2 children.

Probably one of the best restored medieval fortresses worldwide

Absolutely fantastic afternoon/evening spent here, we were lucky enough to visit the same time a re-enactment group were performing. The walk up from the town was fantastic, a novice walker could easily do this in an hour or you can park right outside the castle, for free. We obtained our tickets, 3 euro 50 each, an absolute bargain at the ticket booth, David spoke better English than me and explained what was happening and a little history about the castle, well done David, a credit to tourism in Spain........... There are many walks around and we plan to stay in the area for 2 or 3 days, truly a lovely picturesque location and a hikers dream. 5 STARS .....

If you love weird nature landscapes, this is the place to go. This military medieval castle with it's defense weapon display is atop a huge rock overlooking below and all around... Mesmerizing

Great castle and amazing place to visit.

It has the wow effect when the car passes the hill. Huge castle with a clear military and defensive structure, far from the royalty kind of castles. Inside you can see a collection of siege weapons explained. At the entrance they provide a little piece of paper with the basic explanation of the castle and, unfortunately, that they there were no guided tours, otherwise I would join. It is very interesting and the landscape is not to be missed.

The landscape and location of the castle are breathtaking. However, since the castle has been fully restored lately, it looks more like an amusement park attraction rather than an historical site... more focus into the original condition of the construction and the history of the site would have been more appreciated

It is certainly a noteworthy and highly recommended experience in Zaragoza. Initially, one might be taken aback by the 19€ entrance fee for the hike. Nevertheless, after traversing the path, it quickly becomes apparent that it is worth every penny. We visited in October and enjoyed delightful weather. I can imagine that it might be quite warm during the summer months. A small suggestion: opt for the longer hiking route instead of the shortcut, provided you are physically capable, as you will not be disappointed.

Actually, during this photoshoot, we were also driven away. The location itself was quite remote and inconvenient to access—it required about one half an hour of driving from the city center—though the scenery there was truly beautiful. What was infuriating was that just when we were about to leave, an elderly staff member angrily warned us that we shouldn't wear "such Japanese-style clothing" and that we should "wear normal clothes." It wouldn't have been a big deal initially, but he kept pressing us, and that made me angry. I explained clearly that this is, in fact, Chinese-style clothing. But he responded with a dismissive expression, saying, "I don't care which country it's from—you just can't dress like this here." He went on to say a lot of very disrespectful things. We had already explained that other staff outside had allowed us to enter, yet he still confronted us angrily behind our backs. I just want to say: you can be upset if our unconventional clothing disturbed your work, but you shouldn’t discriminate against a character like this. Even if the character I’m cosplaying isn’t a good person, we’re all here out of love for the craft, investing our own time, money, and effort—some of us even traveled four hours from other cities just to be there. In that moment, I nearly lost my temper and felt like cursing at him, just like Xue Yang would have. My friend, cosplaying as Jin Guangyao, probably noticed the look on my face and stepped in to calmly talk to the other party. Anyway, with all that happened, and considering the remote location despite its beauty, I said I won’t be going back again. ---

Absolutely wonderful place to visit. The only things I was missing were the better indications of the pathways. We spend more than 3 hours there photographing and enjoying the beautiful nature. The light was amazing in the morning. It is not suitable for people with wheelchair. Also, there are quite tough parts on the path going up and down the stairs.

I went there for the Spa and the termal waters after I ws on a trip through the Scandinavian and Baltic countries. We'll, it is very sad but there is no a positive way to compare them. This place was more expensive, the water was either very cold or lukewarm and the lack of maintenance was unbelievable, I mean the little mosaics titles were loose in the pools floor. Some of the water taps were not even working, but of course everything was about to be fixed the next day. Typical Spaniard answer. And, even tho the entrance is pricey for what it is the charge you extra for a pool cap.

WOW!! Allow a whole day for this place. Good walking conditions with correct footwear. Lots of waterfalls means lots of damp and slippy areas..but worth it. And don't forget to stop and see the raptors..amazing!! Trying to edit my post 🤞Also, you can follow the path down to the waterfall and go behind it! Follow the steps down to the cave, it's well lit and has handrails. Not for small toddlers or prams and pushchairs...and probly not good for dogs unless they trained in cave rescue!😂but the view from behind the waterfall is sooo beautiful and breathtaking and wet!! Wear your hood up, no umbrellas, you will need both hands to take photos!

One of the most beautiful places on earth. The paths and the falls are amazing. So much peace and beauty make this a great place to retreat to for the day.

This park is worth every penny. About 2.5 hours of absolute nature magic. Recommended early morning, opens at 09:00 and avoid weekends. Bring a picnic as there are nice places to do it, take your time and enjoy nature. Buy your tickets online and bring a professional camera because you will get some amazing shots.

Fantastic place and really interesting. The guide we had (her name was Sara) was great and had great knowledge of the mines. The kids we took there from our school really enjoyed themselves.

Really interesting and unique visit. It's a pity that the excursions are only in Spanish.

We had a wonderful time and the guide was wonderful too

Maria Jose, is an expert. She made the whole experience amazing.

We were in March with the camper in Escucha, beautiful camper place with a sani station and electricity and all this for free. The visit to the museum is very worthwhile. I suffer from claustrophobia but didn't have any trouble here at all. We had a guide who also did the tour in English. You enter the mine with a train and the rest goes on foot.

Amazing experience for kids and adults alike. Spanish only, but the guide (atleast our guide - Sara) was very knowledgeable and more than willing to answer all our questions. Take a sweater, you go 150m deep into the mine so it's cold inside even in the middle of summer!

We went there with our youngest son, it's a 1:30 hours visit, with a nice guide who mastered the topic

The information we required was given clearly, along with a map of new Belchite. We found the map useful. The ruins were very interesting, but we didn't join the guided tour.

Received good information

Ok

(Translated by Google) A MUST-SEE for everyone, children, teens, and adults. Unmissable. Impressive. I can't understand how we're letting this town, which is part of Spain's history, disappear. Visited with two children, ages 8 and 10, who also enjoyed the visit. Our guide, Raquel, was excellent. (Original) Visita OBLIGADA para todas las personas, niños, adolescentes y adultos. Imprescindible. Impresionante. No puedo entender como estamos dejando que desaparezca este pueblo, que es historia de España. Visitado con dos niños de 8 y 10 años, a los que también se les ha hecho amena la visita. Nuestra guía Raquel, excelente.

(Translated by Google) We went to visit the old town of Belchite and we can only highly recommend it. Know the entire history of the place, how it affected the actions of both sides during the war, how the new town emerged, etc. It has been very interesting. Best of all, the guide, Raquel, and her companions are from the place and give testimonies of the people who lived there and who they know, stories of people still alive, events that still take place and their fight to keep the place standing to be able to continue telling what happened there. (Original) Fuimos a hacer la visita al pueblo viejo de Belchite y no podemos más que recomendarlo muchísimo. Conocer toda la historia del lugar, cómo afectó la acción de ambos bandos durante la guerra, cómo surgió el pueblo nuevo, etc. ha sido muy interesante. Lo mejor de todo que la guía, Raquel, y sus compañeras son del lugar y dan testimonios de la gente que vivió allí y que conocen, historias de personas aún vivas, eventos que aún se realizan y su lucha por mantener en pie el lugar para poder seguir contando lo acontecido ahí.

(Translated by Google) We've been here twice. The first time was for the daytime visit, which focused on the story of everything we've experienced. The second time was for the nighttime visit, so we could experience the other, more mysterious side of it all. Unfortunately, it was an extremely large group; there were many children and adults who weren't behaving properly, which prevented us from enjoying the experience, but we'll definitely be back. Both times we were with Raquel, and she was delightful. Thank you so much for the experience. (Original) Hemos venido dos veces, la primera fue a la visita diurna, en la que se centra en la historia de todo lo vivido, la segunda, para la nocturna, y poder intentar sentir el otro lado, el más misterioso de todo esto. Desgraciadamente era un grupo extremadamente grande, había muchos niños y gente adulta que no se comportaba como debía y eso nos impidió poder disfrutar de todo aquello, pero volveremos seguro. Ambas veces nos tocó con Raquel y fue encantadora, muchas gracias por la experiencia.

This used to be a fortified Islamic medieval palace built between 1065 and 1081 that eventually housed the regional parliament of Aragon. I was amazed by the intricate mixtilinear arches and springers, with arabesques over a large area. Definitely worth the money (not expensive) and time spent there. Notable sights include the Golden Hall, Mosque, Santa Isabel Courtyard, Palace of Peter IV and Palace of the Catholic Monarchs. When I was there, Goya’s works were also temporarily exhibited here, with the Goya Museum being renovated. So it was a 2-in-1 visit.

The place looked beautiful, and definitely is very cool from the outside. However, we were unable to go in because the tickets are not working from the online system. There was a long line, and we went to buy our tickets online, but definitely with the mobile device it was not working. It seems to be fairly typical that many of the websites in Spain don't work. 😞😵‍💫

1. Before my visit, it was not clear to me whether tickets had to be purchased in advance or not, so as not to waste time in queues. I visited Aljaferia Palace on a Friday afternoon in September. There was no queue for tickets. The ticket office is a small booth outside the walls of the Aljaferia, on the side of Calle de los Disputados street. 2. As with many Spanish attractions in Zaragoza, the explanations are perfect in Spanish :-) , but there is no information in English. I had installed the Aljaferia Palace app. This app contains numbers, but unfortunately these numbers do not correspond to the numbers found in the various rooms. Well, how difficult is it to do something properly... 3. Coming back to the tickets. Apparently, you can take guided tours in English during the summer. September is no longer summer, so guided tours were only available in Spanish. Try booking a ticket in advance on the website, and I wish you luck understanding it... I see online tickets for locals, for students, for all kinds of groups of people, but not for a foreign (English-speaking) tourist who wants a regular visit without extras. Has anyone ever taken a critical look at this booking web page? 4. Although the style is also Moorish, it is not comparable to, for example, the Alhambra in Granada, which is much more beautifully integrated into the landscape and has much more beautiful gardens, water features, and buildings.

It is a magnificent building to visit especially on a Rainey day. Though our visit coincided with a film crew on site. Restricting locations and sound levels. As we had just arrived we could not come back another day. We were still charged full price to enter.

An absolutely amazing piece of history not too far from the centre of Zaragoza. I booked the English tour for 9 euros and it was well worth the money. I would recommend the tours because you will get a lot more of the history of the palace and you will enjoy the visit more.

One of the most interesting archaeological heritage buildings that shows our shared cultural and artistic links of Aragon and Spain with the Muslim world while showing the evolution and its later role in Christian time as a royal fortress since Ferdinand and Isabella. If it was located in France or Italy it would have been visited 10 times more. A hidden gem worth visiting and cherishing and discovering all its treasures.

Very large Palace (Kastel)from the tenth century in Zaragoza. Worthy of a visit. Old age people pay only €2 pp. Beautiful rooms and exhibits. Don't miss it.

Fantastic place to visit. So many tapas bars, restaurants, bars. Great vibe at night. Great value . Couldn't believe how cheap it was.

Has to be visited. Typical tapas bar in the Zaragoza oldest part

Really busy place to be! Bars aplenty! The later the better!

Got here early, must places closed, lots of bars and tapas but must go after 7pm

Well worth a visit to this unique area

Great food and drinks

Ok

A most exquisite building dedicated to Saint Mary who appeared on a pillar which is now enclosed but you can kneel before it and touch part of it. The soaring ceiling and beautiful sculptures are breathtaking. Each of the chapels has its own glorious artworks. The chapel at the back of the church is extraordinary with a separate open roof structure. A true gem.

The Cathedral-Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar in Zaragoza is a breathtaking masterpiece of Baroque architecture and a deeply spiritual landmark. With its grand domes, stunning frescoes by Goya, and peaceful riverside setting, it’s a must-visit for both art and history lovers. Don’t miss the panoramic views from the tower and the nearby Puente de Piedra for perfect photos.

Simply mammoth size of a Cathedral....hard to photograph it was so large but got some shots on a stormy night from the bridge. Beautiful tiling on roof. Beautifully carved altar and wonderfully cool inside. Sadly a couple of the towers were being renovated but understandable.

Such a beautiful Basilica. Seeing the Pilar where our Lady billocated was so special. We timed it well for Holy Mass. you do need an hour to explore afterwards. Plenty of priests were there to hear confessions. Architecture was spectacular, the paintings, sculptures- a pure joy to be there. Plenty of Capella for praying along. Rosary after 12 mass.

The church was absolutely stunning, with its magnificent architecture leaving me speechless. The intricate stonework and towering spires created an awe-inspiring silhouette against the sky. As I walked through the grand entrance, I was captivated by the rich history that enveloped the space; it felt as though time itself had been preserved within these walls. The ornate stained glass windows cast vibrant colors across the interior, illuminating the beautifully carved wooden pews. I found myself particularly mesmerized by the elaborate details on the facade, where every chiselled figure and decorative element seemed to tell a story of its own. It was an experience that left a lasting impression on my heart.

A very beautiful basilica, and definitely worth visiting if you're in the area or happen to be passing through. However, I wouldn't make a special trip to Zaragoza just for this and a few other sites.

It was, without a doubt, an exceptionally impressive church. Unlike many others that I have visited in various cities, this one stood out with its distinctive architectural features and unique atmosphere, setting it apart from the more familiar structures I had previously encountered.

The Catedral del Salvador de Zaragoza, commonly known as La Seo, is an absolute masterpiece that genuinely captivated me. While many visitors flock to the more famous Basílica del Pilar, overlooking La Seo would be a grave mistake. This magnificent temple boasts stunning architecture, with its intricate domes, numerous chapels, and breathtaking art creating an atmosphere of profound beauty. It's immediately clear why this cathedral holds the prestigious title of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Every corner reveals centuries of history and artistic brilliance, making it an unforgettable experience that truly stands apart.

This is a must see. It’s just stunning. Try time it for mass. A lot of tourists are walking around, looking at all the art periods, Capellas. The audio guide is necessary, they’ve a children’s audio guide too. The staff are so kind & patient. It’s mostly wheelchair accessible except the gift shop & tapestries. The beauty & building for the glory of God is a feast for your eyes. Again the ticket here can be also used at ‘the glass rosary’ You’ll need more time than you think in this cathedral. Look at the tapestries. If you like art this is for you.

This was the best historical site we saw in Zaragoza. It covers several periods, invasions & conversions. The audio guide for children and another for adult work really well. Lots of language options. It’s mostly wheelchair friendly but the gift shop, up one step and the tapestry’s are up several flights of old broad stairs. Everyone is so friendly. The detail of each little chapel can be a little overwhelming at times. The effort, skills & expense put into them. The personal Family history.

Pretty amazing place, but quite crowded on the weekend. It's also closed around lunch time so you can't really go in and take advantage of smaller crowds. All that said, it's not worth taking a special trip to Zaragoza just for this and a couple other churches that are around. If you're in the area, or you're passing through, you definitely should visit.

Very nice and important place to see. The cathedral has some magnificent architecture and decour, also there is a wonderful tapestry museum inside which I would say is a must see for any history and decour enthusiast. The visit includes a great audioguide in multiple languages.

One of the most impressive cathedrals in Spain, also constantly underrated and overshadowed by El Pilar for obvious reasons, it retains a big artistic value in unique from the wood altarpiece to the choir or all the baroque interiors, plus the mudejar tiles on the façade or the collection of rich medieval tapestries. It reflects the role of Zaragoza as witness in a crossroads of civilizations from Roman to Visigoth, muslim, and Christian again in Romanesque, Gothic, renaissance, unique mudejar with arab reminiscences, baroque, neoclassic, etc all in one single building

The cathedral of the savior of Zaragoza is so beautiful church! Inside and outside! It’s very nice to visit. I recommend it! Feels so peaceful in there.. there are tours for a fee not in the mass hours of course.

Great family (2+4) experience! We were extremely pleased with our guide David who guided us in a fun and safe manner. Our youngest girl of 8 years old skipped a few high jumps but was encouraged to expericence the adventure full swing. Exiting and beautiful trip1 Highly recommended.!

Our family had a wonderful day with Javier. It was our 8 year okd’s first time and she whined a fair bit in the beginning about the hiking ascent under the sun but soon all was forgotten as we navigated through the icy river, wading, swimming, climbing and jumping off rocks, crawling and squeezing through crevices. Javier really guided our and another family with 2 kids, serving as human ladder at times to support us. He kept the kids entertained and shared his enthusiasm and the beauty of the surrounding nature. We all had a blast

We had an excellent day canyoning with David in the Formiga canyon. Really exciting and fun while feeling very safe. Very good organisation and communication both in advance and on the day. Highly recommended!

David was a fantastic guide who we had lots of fun with. He knew the canyon and the river incredibly well. He was patient with our kids and they loved having him lead us.

Raul was the guide of my wife and my 3 kids. He should them al the best spots. The canyoning was a amazing experience and he was a very good guide

Canyoning in Alquezar is amazing. The trip is very beautifull, the stunning surrounding, refreshing water, (optional) jumps make it the best Canyoning trip we did. And our guide stimulated and helped where neefjes so my 10 year old daighter had the best day!

We had such an amazing time! Javi was so helpful and patient with all of us, and he guided us step by step with what to do to make the experience as fun and safe as possible. Highly recommend!

Not a particularly tough walk for walkers but a beautiful place to visit and exercise . You buy tickets opposite the entrance which is a One way walk .

Really nice hike! At the time of writing, it costs €5 for an adult. The paths are well maintained with lots of (metal)boardwalks. After the first section, there is a detour to a large cave. You can swim there, but it is very cold. The middle section goes along the side of the mountain through metal gangways, with beautiful views of the valley. The final section is a steep climb with barely any cover for the sun. You definitely need enough water during the summer. They also warn you about this. If you are near, it is definitely worth taking this hike.

Fantastic hike! It order to get to the trail head, you need to park in the parking lot (4 euros) on the other side of the town. This adds a nice walk through the historic streets, just follow the signs. Then you buy a ticket at the city hall (ayuntamiento), it's 5 eur per person. The hike isn't long, but you will definitely spend long time taking a lot of pictures on this beautiful trail. I absolutely loved it!

Amazing walk down into the canyon alongside the river. Steep descent, some sloping boardwalks, some wooden stairs, some walking on rocky ground. Not easy for anyone with mobility issues. The walkways along the cliff side are amazing and scary at the same time, but the views of the beautiful river take precedence!

Starting at the paid entrance was actually a plus. The staff gave us a map and excellent advice for the route. There's also a shop there to buy water before you start. We hiked with our 17-month-old in a toddler backpack carrier. Our advice: pack light, wear breathable clothing, but don’t skimp on proper hiking shoes! The trail was said to take 1.5 to 2 hours, and we walked at a pretty steady pace and completed it in just over an hour. We found a very small shaded area after the main lookout point to have a quick bite, but there aren’t really any places to rest along the way. If you can, take your time, stop often, and enjoy the stunning views and waterfall. Don’t forget a hat, sunblock, and plenty of water! Highly recommended for nature lovers, families, and anyone looking for a peaceful, scenic adventure.

I'm not giving it 5 stars because the entrance is not free. I must agree with other people that it sucks that you have to pay to enjoy nature. But the nature was great. The river was a blast. Very beautiful and we enjoyed it a lot. We were there in the middle of June and walk almost everything by ourselves at our own pace. I didn't know you could swim in the river so I recommend bring swim suit. And good shoes too!

Lovely hike for all levels. A Walk along the mountain boardwalks with views to a river, a small dam and valleys. Look above and see the vultures fly. 4 euros tourism fee which you need to pay at the town hall which is next to the entrance of the beginning of the walk. It's a light walk with a bit of an uphill towards to the end. Nice to go with the family as it's not too difficult

Nice fortified Church to visit. €3 entrance. Unfortunately the guided tour seemed to only be in Spanish. Beautiful construction, fantastic wall paintings. Central Garden need attention but nice overall.

A beautiful ancient church that survived several eras, preserved in fairly good condition. Admission costs 3 euros and includes a guided tour in Spanish. The roof and windows offer stunning views of the city and surroundings.

The Museum collection is small but interesting. The view and the breeze from the arched windows are worth the the price of admissions

Very well preserved, entrance is €3 for a guided tour, the tour guide is funny, welcoming and very professional

We visited the town and the church. We loved it

Great tour guide with printed translations. If the door is closed during opening hours, just wait until he finishes his current tour and opens it.

2.5 EUR entry fee. Every 30 mins or so. Worth visiting.

it brings back good old memories from my first stay about eleven years ago... great place for a spiritual retreat experience, or just to spend a long weekend. it's worth checking in advance with the reception whether buddhist monks will be around performing their daily schedule of prayers though. oxo

Delicious BBC, bread banana carrot and wonderful chai tea too. Very friendly staff 🙏🏼

Small Buddhist temple totally out of place in the prepireneo. Acomodation available for study groups and retreats.

Good place to calm down. The main Lama there, Lama Drubgyu isa nice person. Wise and kind.

Nice vibrations.

Just one word : LOVE 💚

(Translated by Google) Aínsa is one of the most beautiful towns you can visit in the area (and I'd say in the country, without exaggeration). You'll easily spot the fortress, which also has a parking lot next to it. At the top of its walls, admire the surrounding valleys and mountains from its viewing points, feel the wind on your face, enjoy nature, and walk along the wall like a king. This free attraction won't take long. Take a walk to see the views and also the details of the wall. Take your influencer photo and stop by the bathroom to relieve yourself before getting in the car. (Original) Aínsa es uno de los pueblos más bonitos que puedes visitar en la zona (y yo diría del país, sin exagerar). Fácilmente verás la fortaleza, que además tiene un parking al lado. En lo alto de su muralla, divisa en sus miradores los valles y las montañas alrededor, siente el viento en tu cara, disfruta de la naturaleza y camina por la muralla como si fueras un rey. Atracción gratuita y que no te llevará mucho tiempo, date una vuelta para ver las vistas y también alrededor los detalles de la muralla. Hazte tu foto de influencer y pasa por el baño para evacuar antes de coger el coche.

(Translated by Google) A Romanesque-style defensive enclosure, built on Arab remains in the 11th century, the original site underwent several changes over the centuries. The interior of the walls is reinforced with semicircular arches, clearly Romanesque in style, despite dating from the 17th century. These supported the promenade along the wall, or the guard's patrol path. The oldest part of the Castle Fortress is the Keep, which currently houses the Eco-Museum Visitor Center. The town's inhabitants took refuge within its walled enclosure in case of danger. Declared a Site of Cultural Interest since 1931. (Original) Recinto defensivo de estilo románico, construido sobre restos árabes en el siglo XI, el original emplazamiento sufrió diversos cambios a lo largo de los siglos. El interior de los muros está reforzado con arcos de medio punto, de claro estilo románico, pese a datar del siglo XVII. Estos sostenían el paseo sobre la muralla o camino de ronda de la guardia. La parte más antigua del Castillo Fortaleza es la Torre del Homenaje, actualmente alberga el Eco Museo Centro de Visitantes. En su recinto amurallado se refugiaban los habitantes de la villa en caso de peligro. Considerado Bien de Interés Cultural desde 1931.

(Translated by Google) We were on our second day of our motorcycle trip, following the Trans-Pyrenees Route, and we stopped in this beautiful and spectacular medieval town of Aínsa, located in the Huesca Pyrenees, in the Sobrarbe region, south of the Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park. It sits on a promontory above the confluence of the Cinca and Ara rivers and is made up primarily of two almost parallel streets, Calle Mayor and Calle Santa Cruz, which flow into the Plaza Mayor. Further west, the Castle appears, extending across a wide esplanade. This Castle-Fortress of Aínsa is located at the western end of the Plaza Mayor. Its oldest part is the Torre del Homenaje (Keep Tower), built on Moorish remains in the 11th century and surrounded by a walled enclosure where the town's inhabitants took refuge in case of danger. The original enclosure underwent various changes over the centuries, and the fortress's current appearance reflects the fortification policy of Philip II (17th century) and follows the same principles as the Citadel of Jaca. To build it, some 70 houses on the western edge of the town were demolished. Inside, the walls are reinforced by high arcades with semicircular arches, clearly Romanesque in style despite dating from the 17th century, whose function is to support the Paseo (or Coastal Path). The only gate leads to the Plaza Mayor, which until not many years ago was preceded by a moat, now filled in, and crossed by a drawbridge. A visit to this castle is highly recommended, as is the spectacular medieval town of Aínsa, which is also deservedly included on the List of the Most Beautiful Villages in Spain. (Original) Estábamos en nuestro segundo día de viaje en moto, realizando la Ruta Transpirenaica, y paramos en esta bonita y espectacular población medieval de Aínsa, situada en el Pirineo de Huesca, en la comarca de Sobrarbe, al sur del Parque Nacional de Ordesa y Monte Perdido. Se emplaza en un promontorio sobre la confluencia de los ríos Cinca y Ara, y está formada principalmente por dos calles casi paralelas, la calle Mayor y la calle Santa Cruz que desembocan en la Plaza Mayor. A continuación, en dirección oeste, aparece el Castillo que se extiende por una amplia explanada. Este Castillo Fortaleza de Aínsa, está situado en el extremo oeste de la Plaza Mayor, siendo su parte más antigua la Torre del Homenaje, construida sobre restos árabes en el siglo XI y rodeada de un recinto amurallado donde se refugiaban los habitantes de la villa en caso de peligro. El primitivo recinto fue sufriendo diversos cambios a lo largo de los siglos y el aspecto actual de la fortaleza responde a la política de fortificación de Felipe II (siglo XVII) y sigue los mismos criterios que la Ciudadela de Jaca. Para construirlo se derribaron unas 70 casas del extremo occidental del pueblo. En el interior los muros están reforzados por arquerías elevadas con arcos de ½ punto, de evidente sabor románico a pesar de datar del siglo XVII y cuya función es la de sostener el Paseo o Camino de Ronda. La única puerta da a la Plaza Mayor, que hasta no hace muchos años estaba precedida por un foso, ahora cegado, que se salvaba mediante el correspondiente puente levadizo. Recomendable visitar este castillo, así como visitar esta espectacular localidad medieval de Aínsa, que además está incluida en la Lista de los Pueblos más Bonitos de España, y además con todo merecimiento.

(Translated by Google) Remains of the castle with a keep that is a museum of Pinenaic Fauna that costs €5. We didn't see it. You can climb the wall and from there see the parade ground and a viewpoint or balcony with the most important views. (Original) Restos del castillo con torre del homenaje que es un museo de la Fauna Pinenaica que cuesta 5€. No lo vimos. Puedes subir a la muralla y desde allí ver el patio de armas y un mirador o balcón con las vistas más importantes.

(Translated by Google) Remains of Aínsa Castle, from which you can enjoy wonderful views of the Cinca Valley and the Pyrenees, as well as the town's main square. The Pyrenean Fauna Museum is located in the keep. Access to the castle is free from the parking lot. (Original) Restos del Castillo de Aínsa, en el que se pueden contemplar estupendas vistas del valle del Cinca y de los Pirineos, así como de la Plaza Mayor de la propia villa. En la torre del homenaje está el museo de Fauna Pirenaica. Al castillo se acerca de forma gratuita desde el parking.

(Translated by Google) The Aínsa castle is almost attached to the town, separated by the Plaza del Castillo, which currently serves as a parking lot. The oldest part is the Torre del Homenaje, built on Arab remains from the 16th century. XI. Later, the enclosure was closed, with high walls (up to 14 m), with a walkway and two viewpoints or balconies, that of the Villa and that of the Pyrenees. Wheelchair accessible (except, obviously, the roundabout) Free access to the castle, which is open all day. (Original) El castillo de Aínsa está casi pegado a la villa, separado por la Plaza del Castillo, que actualmente sirve de parking. La parte más antigua es la Torre del Homenaje, construida sobre restos árabes del s. XI. Más tarde se cerró el recinto, de altos muros (hasta 14 m), con un paso de ronda y dos miradores o balcones, el de la Villa y el de los Pirineos. Accesible para silla de ruedas (salvo, obviamente, el paso de ronda) Acceso gratuito al castillo, que está abierto todo el dia.

(Translated by Google) A lovely visit. And for just €1 an hour, in the parking lot right at the entrance. (Original) Bonita visita. Y por solo 1€ la hora, en el parking que está justo ala entrada

This stop was part of our Spanish cooking and hiking holiday with Argon Active. The entire medieval town is interesting. The picture of the wall is to show the ancient river bed that the town is built on. It looks like you can pull out the rocks but you can't.

Magical place, it's like going back in time.

Hidden above the modern town, the medieval heart sits on a hill and is a fantastic place to visit. There is a car park for those who don't have the stamina to walk. The main square has a few restaurants, cafes and tourist gift shops tucked away in the archways. Next to the square there is a small park and the remains of a fortress which offers great views over the old town and the mountains. You can easily spend a couple of hours here.

Its a very nice town, with lovely streets. You can walk around and enjoy the view of this charming town. You have a few souvenir shops and a square with restaurants as well. I would also recommend going to the eco museum nearby about the bearded vultures nearby

Stunning place would have liked to spend more time here especially if we stayed in one of the nice looking hotel's.

Quite nice plaza mayor. Requires a little walking, and not very wheelchair or highheels friendly due to the cobbles.. Has some interesting shops. The restaurants in the plaza are fairly well priced and have a half decent selection of food. The castle at the end is worth walking around for some photo opportunities.

Beautiful old Town. The castle is nearby for a great photo from the top. The town isn't large so easy to see it all in a few hours. Great bars around and good food.

What an amazing experience. You should do the loop starting from the church… the views are amazing!

The hike to the Cirque de Gavarnie begins in the village of Gavarnie, along a wide and pleasant path by the river, crossing a stone bridge and a shaded forest, and gradually climbing until the impressive cirque comes into view. After about an hour and a half, you reach the Hotel du Cirque, offering a breathtaking view of the mountains and the waterfall. For those in good shape, I recommend continuing to the base of the waterfall for a unique experience. The return follows the same route — a beautiful trail filled with nature and the dramatic scenery of the Pyrenees. I strongly recommend bringing hiking poles, especially for the ascent and descent in the final part of the trail near the waterfall.

One of the most impressive mountains that I've ever seen in my life. The trail towards the end is easy (although after the hotel, dogs are not allowed, which js what I don't understand). On the way back, we took the harder trail via Refuges Pailha. This trail is moderate-hard, with some of the trails not well maintained. The view, however, was just excellent. Worth the pain and effort! PS: Parking is €7 nowadays for the whole day.

This was one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been to. I can see why it was so admired by Victor Hugo and other writers. What I wish I knew before my visit: Google will trick you into thinking you can drive to the hotel right by the cirque de Gavarnie, but that is not entirely accurate: the road to the hotel is usually closed in the beginning of the day so they make you park in the town. From there the walk is around 2h to the actual waterfall, instead of anticipated 50 min from the hotel. The walk is not too bad, it does include quite a bit of an elevated hike, but that is to be expected. Another thing I wish I knew is that the waterfall itself would be really cold and it would not be a great idea to try to get to the base of it. Or, if that’s what you want to do, bring a change of clothes as you will be soaking wet. Overall, a great experience, beautiful breathtaking nature. I will definitely return for more exploration of this magnificent place.

Absolutely breathtaking. Amazing hike up to the waterfall. The view from the top is the most stunning landscape I've ever seen. Absolutely would recommend

Decent distance from the village with altitude gain, but worth it for the views.Good footwear needed, especially after the hotel location.

What a wonderful sights. Careful in the winter the path is really slippery so it takes longer and i dont advise it to the elderly people. Parking was for 5 eur maybe because out of season

An amazing adventure to Pico Perdido. Solo climbed it from La Pradesa Ordessa via Ruta de Escaleras(5 resaltes), this is a unique route than the normal route via La Escupidera, but for experts only as it involves exposed section, dangerous when climbing without ropes. The summit is wonderful with open views all around.

I absolutely love this place. It has all the ingredients for an optimal encounter between yourself and nature at its best. No matter your age, as long as you can open your eyes, the views and the landscape will take your breath away. Pure oxygen will enter into your lungs with every single step you take while contemplating the creation god has given to us. There are trails for amateurs as well as experience hickers. If you happen to be near this area please do take the time to endulge in nature.

Super gorgeous. Easy to park and you can easily hike all day here.

It's beautiful, but watch out for the aliens! 👽

This outstanding mountain landscape, which spans the contemporary national borders of France and Spain, is centred around the peak of Mount Perdu, a calcareous massif that rises to 3,352 m. The site, with a total area of 30,639 ha, includes two of Europe's largest and deepest canyons on the Spanish side and three major cirque walls on the more abrupt northern slopes with France, classic presentations of these geological landforms. The site is also a pastoral landscape reflecting an agricultural way of life that was once widespread in the upland regions of Europe but now survives only in this part of the Pyrénées. Thus it provides exceptional insights into past European society through its landscape of villages, farms, fields, upland pastures and mountain roads. UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITES

The warm welcome by the underground command center personnel was the best part, although the hike is also nice. The static electricity near the transceiver on the surface level is a bit much though.

Breath breaking canyon full of waterfalls and different animals as marmots.

We had a great rafting trip! Well organized, good instructions and a very nice experience. Thank you so much!

We were a family of 3 with a 8 year old. Always feel safe. We had an awesome time with Carlos. Highlight recommended the whole team…. Five star!!

We had an excellent time as a family. The guides give clear instructions and make sure everyone is having fun. Equipment is all in good condition and everything is super organized. They're associated with Adventure Saratillo in Ainsa, which I also recommend.

Very disappointed. We did canyoning with this organisation. Because of rain they went to another canyon for safety reasons which is good. Unfortunately the chosen canyon was way to difficult for us. Very dangerous. We were with family with 3 teenagers. It would have been better to cancel the day but I guess they didn't want to miss the money

Great vibe from these guys. Our guide dolphin was informative, experienced and had a good laugh with our group. Highly recommended.

very nice rafting. professional, certified staff that takes safety and humor very serious. Sinfronteras sais it is from 3 years and up but I am 36 and really had a lot of fun.

It was such an amazing experience doing rafting with the team ! The team was really nice and funny 😊 It was an unique and unforgivable memory

Mandatory to stop here… great views! You can see lamas around and you can start the trekking to the Pic Du Mid

Stunning views when sunny. The weather changed every 5 mins. Very quiet in October.

Awesome experience, even though it was cloudy.

The hardest and most rewarding days cycling I have ever done. Stopped at the ski resort for lunch and then made the summit after. Views are spectacular.

Beautiful, if you can walk up above the road onto the ridge, you will not be disappointed

Is there a better place to experience Tour the France? Stunning views, friendly atmosphere and perfect place for cycling.

It's a must-visit if you're anywhere near the Pyrenees.

A mountain peak with observatory, restaurant & amazing views... if the sky is clear! When we visited there were a few interesting exhibits, with a photo history of the peak and a sun-tracking telescope where one could see flares. We booked the first cable car of the day so found it nice and quiet. Cost is hard to justify but if you like views and are in the area it's the place to be.

Although very “ touristic” I deeply recommend it. Be careful: it is an experience that takes at least 3-4 hours , including the line to the cable car up and down. At the pic , a cafe that is very expensive, so bring your own coffee and food… Also the area that the guests can walk through is very limited to 2 angles, you cannot look at views 360 degrees around which was very disappointing …

we first became aware of this through a television programme and decided that we had to do it. we wanted to book and overnight visit as we felt that this would give us the best experience. so in August 2023 we booked for July 2025, yes the wait is that long. when the time finally arrived needless to say we were very excited. We arrived at the cable car and were transported to the observatory, we were greeted and had to wait for someone who could speak some English as although we can speak fluent Spanish our French is not so good. we were given directions to our room and then told that we needed to be at a certain point for the welcome meeting. Our room was basic but clean and comfortable. we were not expecting luxury as we are aware that this is a working observatory, but the bed was super comfortable and the views from the windows we breathtaking. we arrived at the welcoming meeting to discover that all of the planned activities would only be conducted in French, we asked if there was any information available for non French speakers only to be told no. Whilst the staff did everything that they could to help and make our stay the best that they could, they struggled to communicate with us. This basically meant that 98% of the planned activities were simply not accessible to us. We missed the planned tour of the facilities as this was only in French so there was not point in us attending this. Dinner was really very good and the food and drink were exceptional. The sunset was spectacular followed by a short film, which did have an English translation, however the following planetarium activity was again only available in French. The night time stars were lovely and although we did get to look through a large telescope the explanations and information meant nothing to us as once again it was only in French. We did have a great time, but for the cost that we paid, to have 98% of the activities simply not available to us it was disappointing. This is a service that attracts and international clientele, to assume that everyone who attends will be able to speak fluent French is completely unrealistic. Not to have written information or audio guides available is simply lazy or arrogant. So my warning would be that yes the experience was amazing it was somewhat ruined by the fact that we were completely excluded from the majority of the planned experiences that were available. if you do not speak fluent French then maybe you should reconsider booking an overnight stay.

We skipped all the touristic attractions like the cafe and the cable car and came here by foot. Starting from Col du Tourmalet you'll have to cover 14,4 km (round-trip) and 740 m of altitude to reach the mountaintop. Most of the path is a wide road, pretty easy to walk on. However, the topmost part is more difficult, narrow, stony and slippery. I would recommend the path only to trained people with sure-footedness and mountain-experience and without vertigo. In any case, don't forget to bring good shoes, sunscreen, food and a sufficient(!!) amount of water. It is a beautiful hike amidst rocks, sheep, lakes, ruins, mountain-flowers and lizzards. You also have a chance to glimpse griffon vultures at close range. The summit itself is beautiful and scenic, looking down on the mountain ranges and snowy tops of the Pyrenees.

Beautiful experience on a sunny day. A petty that we can’t see anymore eternal snow with the global warming. A must to do.

Appalling tourist trap. If you can hike up, sure, that's the way to see this mountain, but paying €160 to be packed like sardines into the telecabine, then restricted to a terrace without access to the mountain itself, was lousy. The restaurant was over €50 each (for a burger), maybe it was nice but we didn't splash. The bistro had coffee & cakes. The planetarium show at €6 each, was just dire - a 20 minute reenactment of early days at the observatory, followed by the most basic explanation of Hydrogen forming stars, without any use of astronomical images.

Great experience - and a must-go in the Pyrenees. The cable car ride is a great adventure in itself - and the view from the platform is awesome! The bistro is a particularly great experience - very nice service and a large selection.

Not the friendliest/patience for English speakers. Outdoor hot baths are a lovely experience but 2 hours is over far too quick when you include time to get changed, showered etc. 3 hours would feel more of a reasonable duration.

Very “tired” building. A lot of facilities didn’t work, the interior looks like you are in the middle of the construction work. They need to repair everything. Stuff was unexpectedly rude. The nature outside is great.

Although we live 75kms from Loudenvielle, we used to love a weekly visit to Balnea. We used to love the pampering - white towels and Prija shower gel included in the service - Japanese baths heated to 40°C - peaceful silence throughout. Gone now are these little things that made our visits so relaxing and worth while. Gone are the white towels included in the entry price. Gone too is the shower gel and the obligation to shower before getting into the baths. Gone is our favourite feature - the Japanese bath at 40°C (now heated to a mere 36°C). We gave Balnea one last visit recently - the chatter and noise everywhere except the saunas was overwhelming; the place was crowded and felt like a public municipal pool facility. A hot shower at home is more therapeutic than the Japanese baths at 36°C. I guess good things never last. Farewell Balnea!

Amazing lunch and lovely spa. Many different themed rooms with varying types of pool/ sauna. Enjoyed the choices, some pools hotter than others. Outside pools have views of the surrounding mountains. Well worth a visit.

Wonderful thermal bath with a great idea - you can travel to Japan or Peru or relax in the Roman baths. The thermal water is great - but some restrictions: Unfortunately, long line in front of the entrance - on a Tuesday outside of the holiday season at 2.45 p.m. The changing rooms are really bad, you don't feel well. You are not allowed to wear flip-flops or take a towel with you into the sauna - that means everyone is sweating on the wood and you have to sit in the sweat of others. The very dark shower room is a major disaster, much too small and not discreet. You can't really take a shower naked and clean yourself before and after the thermal bath, that urgently needs to be changed. Please.

Probably the strangest spa I ever visited… and I did visit many, in multiple countries. There are no deck chairs AT ALL. Not even a single bench or chair to sit on. One can be either in the pool or stand somewhere. Staff asks you to leave EVERYTHING in the locker, including towel, book… or whatever else you might need… NOT a place to relax at all. Money wasted.

The shower was cold, pools outside were cold, pools inside were cold. Sauna was warm. People were shivering walking between pools. They said "it's only 3 degrees cooler in the hot pool" and wouldn't find is any kind of refund. AND you've got to wear speedos. 1/10 would not recommend

A tiny lake is surrounded by an asphalt walking path suitable for bicycles, about 2.7 km long. The water in the lake is very cold and looks clean and full of water plants. All around we found fast food places, ice creams, boats for rent and inflatables in the water for children, on the shore of the lake in front of the attractions, a lot of noise... make your decision where to sit. Behind the boat rental business are convenient and relatively clean public toilets. There is plenty of parking around Lake -the parking spaces are marked "private parking" even those on the main road. Many park there without considering the signage.

Beautiful lake at Loudenville surrounded by mountains. The view is breathtaking. I have been there multiple times and it never disappoints. There is a thermal bath nearby to relax if you are tired of trekking.

Such a great place to visit ! The landscape its amazing ! The lake and mountains combine together to make a magic place ! Don’t hesitate to visit it !

An extremely beautiful place with easy access.

Must visit! Beautifull clean lake with great views.

Nice lake, good natural resource.

Best place to be with your family in Pyrenees

You will see a lot of peacocks, pigeons, ducks around. There are also many birds, many other animals which are very beautiful and there are also many flowers and trees. You should definitely visit when you have free time. ✨🥰

This is number 3rd the most beautiful garden (jardin) in france. So its worth to visit. Sadly the museum massey were close when i went there. They have lots of pigeons, ducks, and peacock. Maybe its more beautiful to visit in summer time.

A very clean and culture rich garden, so calm, there's places for kids to play, there's where you can sit down

This park holds a special place in my heart. It always reminds me of my childhood.

A whole city block wide park in the center of town! A magnificent park in space with various types of trees, ponds with huge carp fish, turtles, peacocks, and other rare birds. A playground for kids, a cafe shop and plenty of seats and shades for active minds to come there and have a moment of silence while bathing in the oxygen from all the trees.

If you love trees & greenery, you'd love it here. There were some peacocks, ducks, pigeons. A really good spots to come with family, couples.

Very peaceful walking park with peacocks and ducks we enjoy the peaceful walking.

Highly recommended for families or traveling solo. Very close from Bagneres de Luchon. The park itself is beautiful with some amazing views to the mountains.

We went with our car club to this lovely park. It is well laid out with a circuit route that you can follow easily. The animals are well treated, some of them are rescued and seem happy there. The deer and mountain goats are free to wander and are very at ease with people. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and would recommend a visit.

We had fun visiting this park. It is also very clean compared to other animal park. Friendly staff, they're always around when you have question about the animals. Also the view is amazing!!! Highly recommended 👌

Value for money - too expensive! This park should cost 10€ max for adult. It is a nice walk in the nature with the specific animals. 2/5 mainly because of the price. For 10€ I would give it 4/5, not more.

I came specifically to see the bears and the pine marten. At the start of the park, the animals looked well and had good spaces. When I saw the bears, I was very sad..they had quite a small space to their size, and they seemed distressed. They were pacing back and forth constantly, it just seemed they were unhappy. Maybe I am wrong, and they were doing their morning exercises! It was the same with the pine marten, I only saw one and again it was going back and forth with no purpose, didn't appear relaxed and comfortable at all. The other animals were in pairs/groups and appeared well and content in their spaces.

Lovely animal park in the middle of the forest, almost every kind of animal had young ones which gives me the feeling all in all they are in good shape. Very natural feel to it. Mind you that most of the park is shaded in the morning so bring warm clothes, in September it was already chilly.

We loved this park, loads of animals which are running "freely" around you so you can get very close to them. Nicely managed and very relaxing environment. There is a little caffee stand with WC near the end of the circle. Be prepared for a few steep walks during the visit tho.

This is a nice ski resort. In fact, the largest ski resort in Spain. Easily accessible by car. The whole area is very nice. 2h away by car from Toulouse and 3.5h by car from Barcelona. Plenty of slopes. Only 1 green slope so not quite good for beginners. Children area isn’t bad. Food and drinks on the slope are good and not expensive. Very large underground parking is available right under the gondola lift. 15 euro for the whole day. Daily ski pass cost 70 euro. (Winter season 2024/25) 160km slopes in total. Friendly staff all around.

What an incredible place to ski, amazing slopes with every level slopes from beginners to advanced and expert skiers. The Baqueira Beret slope system is not only in perfect conditions, but also very well supervised and taken care of. There are 4 main mountains to ski, 90 slopes and there is enough to not do one slope twice. They have a lot of artificial snow makers that give you a great ski experience even days away from the last snow fall. The views are great, ski pass prices are around 70€ per day and come with an insurance in case of accident. Rescue patrols are always on the lookout. There are numerous number of ski and Snowboard schools if you’d like to take private of group classes, prices starting from 75/h. If you are looking to rent, Intersports or La Rider are great places to get good quality equipment. Amazing ski location! Don’t forget to go to the Aprés Ski at the Moet & Chandon bar (in Beret) or at the 1500 bar (at the base of Baqueira)

Great Resort in general! Just sometimes have to drive to other parkings higher up because of the amount of people, and in the morning hours you can get stuck in traffic. The resort is huge so you will always find some slopes with few people even when you would think that it'll be crowded

Baquiera Beret is like Europe's hidden gem of a ski resort. Compared to their more pricey and popular resorts further north, Baquiera is shockingly very good in both absolute and relative terms. Even in relatively late season, we experienced snowfall literally every day we were there, pretty much guaranteeing amazing snow and powder experience - this compounded by the fact that the resort is relatively free of large crowds (especially in neighbouring mountains Beret and Bonaigua) and you get some of the most pristine and pleasant pistes in the world. Infrastructure is excellent with a combination of cable cars and chairlifts that allow you to easily explore the extensive and diverse of pistes of Baquiera; not to mention the accessibility of restaurants, bars and cafes spread out across the resort should you need a quick refreshment or a leisurely meal overlooking the stunning landscape. The resort boasts a variety of pistes for all skill levels and stamina, offering scenic long runs and technical but still very enjoyable runs in the blacks. I love that many of the trails effortlessly converge and diverge from each other so that you can have the option to move from challenging to easier pistes effortlessly making meeting up with friends regardless of skill level a relatively easy affair. While English is not widely used and minimally understood (except for the more central services of the resort), we rarely faced problems communicating our needs and people were patient and generally happy to help you. Even a little knowledge in Spanish (or even better, Catalan) will go a long way in getting you around enough to enjoy your time there. Will it still retain its charm in the coming years as more people discover this understated resort? It's hard to say, but it's definitely become one of my favourites!

Nice experience. Not so crowded for the big holiday (6-9 Dec) in Spain. The slopes are wide, well kept and the lifts are nice, for could be better and then, on the downside, very little life in town, there’s only one “club” Tiffany’s and it was a pain to find good restaurants that weren’t absolutely crowded.

Great resort. Quieter than most and plenty for all standards of skier.

Very nice ski center, quite big and with some very runs. We spent 5 sunny days skiing in late February. Most of the lifts are modern and fast. The ski center was quite crowded but the queues were moving fast. Lots of parking available, we found the ones up in Beret and Orri the most convenient. What was annoying were the traffic to get to the ski center and to leave from it. Especially during Sunday it took us almost 2 hours to return to our hotel in Vielha which was just 15 km away! All in all, it is highly recommended.

Medieval cathedral near the former archbishop's Palace... Worth visiting

Amazing place

(Translated by Google) Superb Saint Lizier Cathedral. Of great architectural interest. Superb vaults. Remarkable murals and statues. Access to the cloister at the back of the cathedral. The cloister has been restored. It's a peaceful place. Don't forget to open the door that reveals the religious works preserved in a secure location. A superb visit. (Original) Superbe cathédrale de Saint Lizier. Grand intérêt architectural. Superbes voûtes. Peintures murales et statues remarquables. Accès au cloître au fond de la cathédrale.

(Translated by Google) Coming for a short hike found on Visorando, we had the good idea of ​​visiting the cathedral before going for a walk. It is a magnificent monument and from the moment we enter we are taken by the atmosphere which leads to meditation. What is striking is this little cloister which is wonderful in its small size and so charming. I will have to come back to it because all the details of the murals have to be rediscovered. We were lucky enough to be alone during this visit which gave us plenty of time to appreciate the serenity of this place. (Original) Venus pour une petite randonnée trouvée sur Visorando, nous avons eu la bonne idée de visiter la cathédrale avant d'aller marcher. C'est un monument magnifique et dés l'entrée nous sommes pris par l'ambiance qui porte à la méditation. Ce qui frappe c'est ce petit cloitre qui est merveilleux dans sa taille petite et si charmant. il me faudra y revenir car tous les détails des peintures murales sont à redécouvrir. Nous avons eu la chance d'être seules durant cette visite ce qui nous a laissé tout loisir d'apprécier la sérénité de ce lieu.

(Translated by Google) A magnificent place of contemplation with its cloister and treasure room! What's more, the city is one of the stops for pilgrims on the Way of St. James.

(Translated by Google) We spent Saint John's Eve here. Starting at 6:00 PM, tables were set up in the square selling savory and sweet tarts in various flavors (€3) and beers (€2.50), among other drinks. A folk group performed, dancing and singing in the Occitan tradition. Around 10:20 PM, the church bells rang, and the bonfire lighting ceremony began! When the ceremony ended, some very discreet firecrackers were set off; our dog didn't even notice them (we came here to escape the firecrackers in Catalonia), since they couldn't be heard much from the apartments in Terres de France. (Original) Hemos pasado la noche de San Juan aquí. A partir de las 18:00 en la plaza se montan mesas y se venden tartaletas saladas y dulces de diferentes sabores (3€) y cervezas (2,50€) además de otras bebidas. Un grupo folklórico estuvo bailando y cantando tradición occitana. Sobre las 22:20 tocan las campanas de la iglesia y ¡empieza la ceremonia de encendida de la hoguera!. Cuando termina la ceremonia lanzan algunos petardos muy discretos, nuestra perra ni los ha notado (vinimos escapando de los petardos en Cataluña) ya que desde los apartamentos de Terres de France, no se escucha mucho.

A real tourist trap, Very disappointing experience. We came here expecting an afternoon of activities for the kids and left after 2h. There were 3 activities that took about 5 minutes each, for the rest nothing interactive and just looking at unmotivated people who only speak french. For 90€ for 5 people, this is a real tourist trap (and yes, we have done similar parks in the past where the experience was way better) In short: Best to stay away

Recreation of a "typical" Village Gaulois an hour's drive from Toulouse. It's open from 14h00 (check days). The huts have been carefully recreated since the foundation of the project 1993. The team run excellent workshops and present their "metiers". Wood working, pottery, wool.

Just bring the kids for a unique experience - Asterix may be around

Very decent place

Lots of things to discover. Plan sufficient time.

Excellent

Correct

The cave is a geological oddity with rivulets and roads cutting through it. You can walk around and see the surrounding area. To visit the museum(the cave), I recommend you make a reservation online in advance. Also, the ticket includes the other museums in the village. You can come and have a picnic. There are free parking spaces and one small restaurant next to the cave that you can get a drink/food before or after visit the cave.

Very nice guided tour for about an hour through the caves all in French all about the excavations and findings of prehistoric bones and artifacts found when digging the road passing through the cave. No pictures allowed during the guided tour. Well worth visiting. Set times for visits.

One of the most iconic caves of South Western France. Huge, very well conserved, easy of access and open all year round. The entrance fee of 11€ for a guided tour is worth for discovering in depth archeological sites within the cave. I'd advise traveling across the cave by car - jaw dropping.

It was an overwhelming experience to drive through this tunnel. Stop and take photos at both ends. Worth the extra drive!

A huge cave going right through the hillside. Big enough for a road to use it as a tunnel alongside the river. There is a small car park at the end and then you can walk into the cave and towards the museum. The surrounding countryside is very pretty with lots of hiking available. Alas we didn’t have time so I can’t comment on the museum or the surroundings in detail. But the cave is cool!

Very cool cave with a small road running through the biggest part next to a stream. A snack stand is nearby. If you pay, there’s a tour of the smaller parts of the cave with good interesting information on prehistoric life in the region.

They Only do the tour in French and not much to see there because it has been mined since Neolithic man has been there.

No one's a clue what was going on. Need I say anything else. Couldn't book anything and it was all all the place. If you booked in advance may be better. But we didn't so....

Great zip wire fun to be had here along with a climbing course in the trees and kayaking

Excellent value for money and great fun.

Cool 😁👍

(Translated by Google) Great discovery, an afternoon filled with good humor, a super smiling and friendly duo to welcome us and guide us. A shaded park, endless zip lines, courses of several levels but ultimately with a little agility they are all doable from 11 to 44 years old as far as we are concerned 3h40 of fun !!!! At the top 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 (Original) Belle découverte, une après midi rempli de bonne humeur, un binôme super souriant et sympathique pour nous accueillir et nous guider. Un parc ombragé, des tiroliennes à n'en plus finir, des parcours des plusieurs niveaux mais finalement avec un peu d'agilité ils sont tous faisable de 11 à 44 ans en ce qui nous concerne 3h40 de régalade !!!! Au top 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

(Translated by Google) For my part, it was a very good experience; the courses are well-balanced. The zip line course over the Ariège River is fantastic. The staff is fantastic and open to technical questions. Please note that payment must be made in cash. (Original) Pour ma part très belle expérience, les parcours sont bien équilibrés. Le parcours tyrolienne au dessus de l’Ariège est top. Le personnel est génial, ouvert aux questions techniques. Attention il faut prévoir le paiement par espèces.

(Translated by Google) Incredible, 😍 a little haven of greenery, calm, kindness, and warmth. It feels good to settle down in a pretty, hidden spot by the river.
