Alquézar, medieval village in the Sierra de Guara
The village of Alquézar is one of the most beautiful villages of Aragon. With its castle and Collegiate church at the top of the village, and its narrow medieval cobbled streets, make this place magical.
Surrounded by large stone walls with the Vero Canyon at the bottom of the valley, Alquézar is located in a unique and strategic enclave.
This small village of only 200 inhabitants, we will find the basic services. It is oriented to the sport tourism being an ideal place to start our canyoning.
Apart from canyoning, if we are in Alquézar, we can also visit the wine cellars of D.O. Somontano and the oil mills of the area.
We can schedule a hiking route and take the opportunity to visit a cave painting on the Vero Canyon.
This area is protected by the Natural Park of the Sierra and Canyons of Guara.
Alquézar is 58 km from Ainsa and 52 km from Huesca.
Canyoning in the Sierra de Guara : Alquézar
The canyoning in the Sierra de Guara that we propose, are canyons that are ideal for both if we are staying in Alquézar and Ainsa.
The Vero Canyon is the Great classic of the Sierra de Guara being one of the most beautiful descents of the peninsula. It is formed by 4 large rock chaos, being the Oscuros del Vero the most aesthetic of all.
You can do half of the canyon, making a magnificent circular route from Alquézar where we will descend the lower part of the Vero Canyon. It is ideal for families with children and adults who want to discover the beauty of the Vero with a shorter activity.
The Fornocal Canyon is a canyon that is usually done in spring and autumn, during the rainy season. It has a total of 9 rappels and is ideal for sports people.
The Basender Canyon is a dry canyon with 5 rappels that we usually do from autumn to spring, when it is still cold. Combined with the Escaleretas equipped trail it is a super complete activity.
