Our Spanish Pyrenees holidays & tours

Stretching from Bilbao to Barcelona, the Spanish side of the Pyrenees is a beautiful year-round holiday destination, its winter snow melting to reveal the scenery in all its green glory in summer. Our Spanish Pyrenees holidays embrace the great outdoors. On the way you’ll visit Pyrenean villages, their calendars full of fiestas, plus traditional shepherding cultures. On our centre based trips you’ll meet the neighbours and taste wine in bodegas. Sadly, rural depopulation in Spain is emptying out these villages, and they are losing centuries of lived traditions in the process. Stay with hosts who are trying to reverse the trend, and provide employment and opportunities in rural areas again.

Spanish Pyrenees map & highlights

The Spanish Pyrenees may feel as though you’re in the middle of nowhere, but they’re actually pretty accessible. At the western end of the mountain chain you have Bilbao, and to the east you have Girona and Barcelona. Flying in requires an airport transfer of at least two hours, but getting around while you’re there is easy enough, as trips usually rely on transport provided by helpful hosts. If you’re headed to a central part of the range, such as Aragon, then the most convenient option is often to fly into Zaragoza, which also has fast rail links to major Spanish cities including Madrid. That means that you can easily add a few days on the beach after your mountain retreat, for instance, or explore Barcelona.
Albella

1. Albella

This picturesque mountain village boasts a pristine natural environment and a very non-touristy ambience. Several of the highest summits in the range are found nearby, including Monte Perdido, so it’s an excellent base for trekking and photography tours. With and abundance of small farms and producers nearby it’s also perfect for foodies, and language students have many chances to practise their lingo on willing villagers.
Girona

2. Girona

Girona is the gateway to the Catalan section of the Pyrenees, and the foothills north of the city are great for everything from self-guided cycling to visiting pretty medieval towns such as Banyoles and Besalú, Roman ruins and old stone churches. From here you can head up into the mountains for more challenging activities, to the coast, or to other well known destinations such as Figueres.
Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park

3. Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park

This UNESCO Biosphere Reserve shelters over 180 species of bird, including bearded vultures, as well as many species of butterflies, and wildlife such as chamois, marmots and praying mantis. You’ll find some of Spain’s finest walking territory here, with miles of trails through forests of beech and pine and alpine wildflower meadows. Guides can lead you to viewpoints over Monte Perdido, the Brecha de Roland or foaming waterfalls.
Sierra de Guara Natural Park

4. Sierra de Guara Natural Park

Another popular hiking destination, the Sierra de Guara is an atmospheric landscape of immense limestone gorges and rock formations, and ancient seabeds lined with fossils. Also frequently used for canyoning expeditions, the park has populations of wild boar and goat, and several attractive medieval villages, some of which are long abandoned.
Somontano

5. Somontano

Situated in the foothills of the central Spanish Pyrenees, the name of this wine region translates to ‘under the mountains’, and they certainly do make a dramatic backdrop. Naturally, wine tasting in the many bodegas around here is the big draw, but there are also several romantic medieval towns to wander, and the Sierra de Guara National Park is a highly regarded location for canyoning.
Sort

6. Sort

Sort – Catalan for ‘luck’ – is another fabulous location for anyone wanting a multi activity holiday in the Spanish Pyrenees. In the Pallars Sobirà region, close to Barcelona and Aigüestortes National Park, it has experiences available nearby that range from rafting, canyoning and horse riding, to 4x4 jeep safaris and kayaking. Some people know Sort as adventure central, but most people don’t know it at all. What luck.

This holiday rates at the top of my travel experiences - maybe tied with my Galapagos trip. My friends and I can not stop reminiscing about it and all we did in just 8 days. It was truly an experience we will never forget. And we even gained some expertise and helpful tips in cooking (and got to eat the delicious results!) .read more

I almost hesitate to write a glowing review—only because I’d like to keep this absolutely fantastic retreat a secret! For anyone looking to recharge, practice Spanish, hike, or simply take in the breathtaking mountain views, I couldn’t recommend it more highly.read more
