Before you go: Huesca tips

Transportation

  • Walk the centre: Huesca's old town is compact and easy to explore on foot, with most sights close together.
  • Take the train to Zaragoza: Rail connections link Huesca with Zaragoza, from where high-speed trains reach Madrid and Barcelona.
  • Rent a car for the Pyrenees: The mountains, canyons and villages north of Huesca are best explored by car, as buses are limited.

Security

  • Use certified guides for canyoning: The Sierra de Guara is famous for canyoning; go with certified guides and check water levels.
  • Prepare for mountain roads: Roads into the Pyrenees can be winding and snowy in winter, so drive carefully.
  • Carry water on hikes: Summer hikes in the pre-Pyrenees can be hot and exposed, so bring plenty of water.

Saving

  • Order the menú del día: Weekday lunch menus are a great value way to try local cuisine.
  • Go tapas hopping: Many bars serve creative tapas, and Huesca is known for its tapas culture.
  • Enjoy free sights: Walking around the old town, parks and cathedral exterior costs nothing.

Weather/Clothing

  • Dress for hot summers: Summers are hot and dry, so pack light clothing and sun protection.
  • Bring warm clothes in winter: Winters are cold, especially at night, and the mountains bring snow.
  • Pack layers for the mountains: Weather in the Pyrenees changes quickly, so bring a waterproof jacket.

Cultural

  • Join the San Lorenzo fiestas: Huesca's main festival in August fills the streets with music and dancers dressed in green and white.
  • Taste ternasco de Aragón: Roast young lamb is a regional speciality, best enjoyed with local wine from Somontano.
  • Try the trenza de Almudévar: This braided pastry from a nearby town is a favourite local sweet.

Local Hacks

  • Visit San Pedro el Viejo: This Romanesque church has a beautiful cloister and is one of the oldest in Spain.
  • Day trip to Loarre Castle: This well-preserved Romanesque castle offers dramatic views over the plains.
  • See the Mallos de Riglos: These towering red rock formations are popular with climbers and hikers.
