Valle de Bujaruelo, Aragon, Spain

5.0 (90 reviews) Spent Ranking #4 in Province of Huesca Valleys

Very nice valley to arrive to Breche de Roland

Valle de Bujaruelo is one of the some valleys located in Ordesa National Park, in Aragon Pyrenees, in the North of Spain. It is very nice, not the best one, but here is the beginning of the trekking to go to Breche de Roland, one of the most beautiful and strange places in Pyrenees. So, we walked around this valley during about two hours and you from San Nicolás de Bujaruelo to Bujaruelo Peak and the views are very beautiful. (see also La Breche de Roland)

    The beautiful step-sister park
    So, little did we know when booking in Torla the weekend of May 1, that's a long holiday weekend in Spain. Torla and the popular Ordesa National Park were swarming with visitors. Normally, during off-season, you can just drive into the park and leave your car. In high season, you have to take a bus from the visitors center and its gigantic parking lot. Of course, May 1 was considered high-season from Friday to Monday! We went to the visitors center and the line for the bus at 11 am was at least a block long. So at our hotel, they suggested visiting the Valle e Bujaruelo across from the national park. This turned out to be a great idea. Tho it didn't seem that way at first. The only road we could see (it's right across from the national park entrance) was really narrow and bumpy -- so much so we weren't sure if it really was a road we were supposed to be using. Then another car came past us from the opposite way, and they looked like tourists, so we figured, OK. Both cars could barely fit on the road. We kept going. The mountain scenery was gorgeous, if right on top of us. The electric lines for the area seem to pass through here, so we again began to wonder if the road was just for workers. But then we came to a bridge with a beautiful view, and we took out our picnic food and ate. A few more cars passed us coming down the mountain valley, so we decided to proceed. Spring flowers everywhere. More bumps. A sign for a Refugio. Hmmmm. So we kept going until we indeed did end up at the Refugio and a pretty big car park and a lot of people going on walks, picnicking around the river, playing with their kids, and having coffee outside on the cafe terrace. Whaddyaknow? A lot of walks leave from here; we tried to take the short "ornithological" one which is just up one side of the river and back down, but it was actually too muddy to get too far because we didn't have hiking boots. Anyway, there was an old Roman bridge that was amazingly picturesque in the midst of this wide open valley. We didn't have to wait in line for anything, and we loved it.

    Beautiful open meadow
    Hiking and hanging spot. There is a shelter with restaurant and bathrooms. Meeting point for several trails including St. James Way. Old stone bridge over large stream. Wildflowers. Towering mountains. Lovely spot
