Las Closas

The local valleys, lakes and peaks – some of which reach a lofty 3,000 metres above sea level – are a paradise for outdoorsy sorts of all persuasions: days upon days could well be spent out exploring along hiking and mountain biking trails that lie around the immediate vicinity, and if you’re a fan of hoofing it around, you can also tour from atop a horse. The landscape lends itself well to other activities, like scrambling up via ferrata climbing routes, canyoning and fishing in lakes and waterways, golfing and – for brave adrenaline junkies – paragliding high up; just ask the friendly Las Closas team to point you toward their fave local spots. For rather more sedate days, the Eyne Valley is especially good for wildlife watchers, or after days spent out and about during summer or winter, melt all your muscle aches away in the soothing waters of the sulphurous baths at Llo, within five kilometres, or at Dorres and Saint Thomas, both within 35 minutes’ drive.
