Tips from the community

Separating the Iberian Peninsula from the rest of Europe, the Pyrenees mountain range offers thrilling all-season adventure throughout the year. Snowboarders and skiers flock to the highest peaks in the winter, whereas the verdant hiking trails draw in adventurous trekkers when the sun is out. Through the crystal-clear lakes, green valleys, and centuries-old alpine villages, the vast natural scenery unfolds gracefully, while scattered Romanesque churches seemingly make for an open-air museum of old architecture.

If you’re up for another adventure, tackle the Caminito del Rey near Ardales.
