If you like to be in touch with nature and the active tourism, the Spanish Pyrenees are the ideal place for spending your holidays.

The paradise of hiking

Hiking is what people practice the most. The whole mountain range is crossed by numerous paths either of short (SR) or long runs (LR). Among these passages the LR 11 known as Senda Pirenaica, which covers the whole massif from one extreme to the other, stands out. Also there are many other routes, signposted and less difficult, which start on the local towns. Any season is good to practice hiking, except in winter, when the snow covers the tops and the valleys from the Pyrenees.
