The Aragonese Pyrenees offers spectacular hiking, with dramatic landscapes characterized by plunging canyons, steep wooded hillsides and glassy rivers. This summer, Rough Guides writer and photographer Marta Bescos spent a weeklong trip traversing the Ordesa Valley. Here, she chronicles her route, with all the details so you can follow in her footsteps. Being out and about in the great outdoors is the perfect way to escape city life post-lockdown, where social distancing couldn’t be easier.
Marta’s trip
My weeklong summer hiking trip in the Aragonese Pyrenees has been a feast for the mind and body. After weeks of lockdown spent in my flat in Madrid – without even a balcony – I was craving fresh air and being surrounded by nature. While Aragon is sadly experiencing another outbreak of the Covid-19, in the northern part of Huesca it was safe to travel. Luckily, our trip went ahead – we stuck closely to the strict hygiene measures, acting responsibly for others and the environment. Current measures in Spain mean you’ll find antibacterial gel in every restaurant and hotel and QR codes instead of printed menu, while everyone wears facemasks both indoors and outdoors.
