If you have wanted for ages to discover the mountains of Spain, we recommend you to start in Benasque. This little piece of heaven on earth is located in Huesca, holds some of the most impressive landscapes in Spain. So, if you finally decide to explore this side of Spain we have several recommendations for you.

The first one is the hiking route of Aiguallut, an easy one perfect if you don’t have tons of experience, or have little time in general. Why do we recommend this route? For starters, it only takes 2 hours, but in just this little time, the visitor can discover some of the best gems of the area. The hike starts in the mountain hut of Besurta and ends in a fantastic waterfall. Additionally, it allows you to contemplate the Aneto, which with its glorious 3,404 meters of altitude is the highest peak in the Pyrenees.

For our second option, you will need a little more hiking experience and time. Since the “Camino de Capdella al Port de Rus” has 1,100 meters of ascension, is 8.6 kilometers long, and the approximate duration is 3.3 hours. For starting the route you need to go to the Capdella village, once you reach the upper part of town you will see a fountain and an itinerary sign. As you leave behind the village, there are two paths, you should take the one that goes to the right, and it’s called “Port de Rus”. For more information, you can check the following link here.
