The Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park is one of the best known and most beautiful protected areas in the Aragonese Pyrenees.

In 1918 it became one of the first National Parks in the world, and no wonder, its geological value is incalculable. This jewel of nature is made up of some of the highest peaks in the Pyrenees, such as Monte Perdido, Cilindro Marboré, Taillón or Soum de Ramond (Añisclo peak) among others. All of them are over 3,000 metres high, walls that have become great landmarks in the history of mountaineering.

At Casa Notario you have the option of booking a flat or rooms (basic double with bathroom 40€/night). They have kitchens for communal use, as well as a barbecue and dining room. If you don't feel like cooking don't worry they have a bar/restaurant. The views and the staff are exceptional, judge for yourselves.

In the Añisclo/ Escuaín sector we recommend Hotel Cinca. Located in Escalona, this small hotel offers rooms with bathroom and good value for money (54€/night). The patio is a very pleasant place to enjoy a good beer or some of the delicious food on offer, such as hamburgers (the Cinca burger is impressive) or salads.

The desserts are brutal, try the goat yoghurt and cheesecake. They offer a buffet breakfast (7€/pax) or a simpler breakfast of toast with tomato and olive oil plus coffee (8€/two people). The staff are charming.
