At 3,355 metres, Monte Perdido is the third-highest peak in the Pyrenees and the tallest limestone massif in Europe — and the classic route to its summit is a serious two-day undertaking, not a casual walk. The approach from the Pradera de Ordesa to the Góriz refuge is straightforward, but summit day is a full alpine ascent, culminating in La Escupidera, a steep, exposed couloir responsible for most of the route’s accidents. This guide breaks down the full route stage by stage, what makes it genuinely difficult, and exactly what to pack before attempting it.
Senda de los Cazadores and Faja de Pelay is widely considered the classic day hike in the Ordesa Valley, a steep 650-metre climb through forest, followed by a long balcony trail cut into the canyon wall, ending at the Cola de Caballo waterfall. It’s demanding, especially in the first 2 km, but it rewards hikers with views of the valley from angles almost no one else gets. This guide covers distance, elevation, a full stage-by-stage route description, and the practical tips: timing, water, trail conditions, that make the difference on this trek.

Alhambra or Mezquita de Córdoba. Which one wins your limited time in Andalusia? We’ve visited both, and the answer isn’t simple. The Alhambra dazzles with sprawling Nasrid palaces, lush gardens, and jaw-dropping views over Granada. The Mezquita hits different: step inside and you’re hit with a forest of red and white arches, a Renaissance cathedral built straight into a 1,200 years old mosque. In this post, we compare price, crowds, time needed, and overall “wow factor”. And our final verdict on which to see first (and how to fit in both).

Castillo de Loarre is the oldest and best-preserved medieval castle in Spain, a breathtaking 11th-century Romanesque fortress perched high in the foothills of the Pyrenees, in the heart of Aragon, northern Spain.
Built during the Reconquista by King Sancho III of Navarre and later expanded by King Sancho Ramírez, this remarkable hilltop castle served as a royal residence, military stronghold, and Augustinian monastery all in one. Standing at over 1,000 metres above sea level, it offers dramatic panoramic views over the Hoya de Huesca plain that alone are worth the trip.
Today, Loarre Castle welcomes visitors year-round with expert guided tours, family activities, and a fascinating Visitor Centre bringing its history to life through cutting-edge technology.
