About Aínsa

Aínsa rises on a rocky spur above the meeting of the Cinca and Ara rivers, at the gateway to Sobrarbe. Its arcaded Plaza Mayor, Romanesque church and ruined castle form the old town, and the reservoir below offers swimming and kayaking. Ordesa y Monte Perdido national park, the village of Torla and the French border passes lie a short drive north. June to September is the walking season, May and October are quieter, and winter brings snow to the higher ground.
