Join us on our travel adventures around Spain! We leave the Basque Country of Northern Spain and head east to the beautiful Spanish Pyrenees mountains!
Our first stop after leaving the Basque Country, was a visit to the beautiful Foz de Lumbier Gorge, located in the Navarre region of Northern Spain. We walked along the bottom of the gorge, including a visit to the panoramic lookout at the Foz de Arbayún, before heading to our next destination in this region: Castillo de Javier.
Our last historic attraction of the day was a visit to the beautiful Royal Monastery of San Juan de la Peña. The monastery was considered one of the most important monasteries in the Aragon region of Spain in the Middle Ages. San Juan de la Peña means "Saint John of the Cliff", a fitting tittle as the monastery is etched into the side of a rock cliff.
We continued our journey through the Spanish Pyrenees into the stunning Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park. There are countless hiking trails in the park, but we decided on one called Faja Racon. The hike takes you along the base of a mountain cliff with panoramic views in all directions and even the chance to see some wildlife like the Pyrenean chamois.
After our time in Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park, we leave the Spanish Pyrenees briefly to drive back into the region of Catalonia. Our main destination in this region was a kayak trip through Mont-Rebei Gorge. The Gorge is a part of the Congost de Mont-rebei nature reserve which has various protected species and flora, and don't forget the beautiful cliffs themselves!
On our final stretch in this region of Northern Spain, we drive north back into the Spanish Pyreness to visit on last park: Aigüestortes i Estany of Saint Maurici National Park. We ventured off on one of our favourite hikes in Spain in this national park. The views from the trail were just incredible! Varied landscapes throughout, cumulating to a viewpoint with panoramic views overlooking the park. Just stunning! After our week in this region, we absolutely fell in love with the Spanish Pyrenees.
