Torla, my hideaway!

Torla is a town in Huesca situated at the beginning of the convergence of two valleys: the Bujaruelo Valley and the Ordesa Valley.

The village maintains a good harmony with its structures, and it is the village that I love the best in the Aragon Pyrenees. Whenever I can, I escape there to enjoy a few pleasant days. I recommend it.

A Well Preserved Town

Torla is one of the doors to Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park, the one that gives access to the area of the valley of Ordesa.

When we arrive there we find a small town of steep and cobbled streets; what first caught my attention was the stamp of the church of the 16th century, with the mountains on the background. As soon as we go inside the town we submerge into the typical architecture of the Pyrenees: spacious houses with great stoned walls, slate roofs and round chimneys; stone, wood and forged iron are the most typical elements in the construction.

The town is very well taken care of (flowers in the doors and corners), the shops also take care of every detail, with its wooden signs and carefully assembled displays.


Torla belongs (since it was recognized by the UNESCO in 1977), along with other towns of the area, to the Reserve of the Biosphere of Ordesa Viñamala. While walking along its streets we discover that, even though it is small, it doesn’t lack anything. It has shops, restaurants, hotels for all budgets, and a lot of things related to mountain sports.

The best option is to go to the enormous tourist office next to a great parking lot at the entrance of town (from this same place leave the buses that takes us to the valley).

The tourist office gives us the bus tickets (3 Euros per way), the maps of the routes and all necessary information. Moreover, they always have a small exhibit in the ground floor.

Amazing Landscapes

After a nice three hour walk, we arrive to the end of the valley. It is crossed by a river that has its source in a waterfall.

It is a magical place, where we see a great névé that crosses the river, from side to side and that has made a natural ice bridge.

It is a place where, after a long walk, you can contemplate amazing landscapes.

A village tale ...

Un pueblecito de cuento...

Torla es uno de esos pueblos, de los que ya no te olvidas y siempre tienes presente pues, para lo pequeño que es, tiene algo que muy pocos tienen: alma y, sobre todo, vida. Las calles empedradas, las casas grandes y tejados negros, los balcones cargados de flores que alegran la vista, miles de bares, con auténticos detalles de Aragón, tiendas de ropa de montaña, y sobre todo gente... La gente pasea por sus calles y se respira el mismo ambiente de deporte, salud, aventura, tranquilidad, emoción... Es algo dificil de explicar, mejor es sentirlo, asi que , ¿¿¿a qué esperas???
Torla is one of those towns, of which no longer forget and always have in mind as to how small it is, is something that very few have and soul ... and especially life ... The cobbled streets, large houses and black roofs, balconies full of flowers to delight the eye, thousands of bars, with authentic Aragon, mountain clothing stores, especially people ... People walk through the streets and breathe the same atmosphere of sport, health, adventure, tranquility, excitement ... It's hard to explain, better feel, so, are you waiting for???
