Camping Valle de Hecho

The spectacular Province of Huesca is a popular place for mountaineering, whitewater rafting, paragliding and skiing, as well as more gentle pursuits such as wildlife watching, foraging and strolling around its mountains, rivers and lush valleys. Candanchu, Formigal, Astún, Panticosa and Cerler are among the top resorts for skiing. Around the Roncal valley, go rafting in the Esca river, wander the valley woods, hike the high mountain peaks such as the Mesa de los Tres Reyes (the highest in Navarre), and explore the valley's seven villages: Burgui, Vidángoz, Garde, Roncal, Urzainqui, Isaba and Uztárroz, all under an hour's drive from the site. At Roncal, 45 minutes' drive away, the Julián Gayarre Museum, in the house where the tenor was born in 1844, is well worth a look, as is the Roncal Interpretation Centre, three floors covering the nature, history and traditions of the area (hint: there's quite a lot indeed).
