The tourist potential of the autonomous community of Aragón has not reached its peak. It is undeniable that in the realm of outdoor sports, Aragón is a national and international benchmark, as the province of Huesca was awarded the title of best adventure destination in the world at the World Travel Awards.
The northernmost province of Aragón has become a paradise for lovers of paragliding and canyoning, thanks to its mountainous terrain. The variety of landscapes throughout the autonomous community provides different settings for outdoor activities, particularly during the summer season.
The skies of Castejón de Sos are famous for paragliding, having hosted world championships. Another destination for paragliders is Monte Javalón in Teruel. It is also possible to glide in gliders from Santa Cilia de Jaca or experience autogyro flights in Sobrarbe and paramotor flights in La Loteta.
The waters of La Loteta, suitable for water sports such as kite surfing and wing foiling, offer a unique experience in an environment typically breezy due to the winds from Moncayo. In the Mar de Aragón and other reservoirs, sailing boats and kayaks are a common sight.
The rivers of Aragón are ideal for rafting, from the Ésera River in Huesca to the Guadalope in Teruel, passing through the famous whirlpools of the Gállego River. There are extraordinary places for canyoning, a sport for which the Natural Park of Sierra y Cañones de Guara is a pioneer.
Aragón is also a reference point for climbing and hiking. Climbing is popular in the Pyrenees, Guara, and the Mallos de Riglos, while hiking and mountain biking routes can be found in areas such as Sobrarbe and Maestrazgo.
In short, the slogan «Aragón, land of adventure» reflects the reality of a wide range of leisure, sport, and nature activities, significantly contributing to the local economy.
