Travel to one of the most beautiful villages in Spain. Live the history of this region, through its medieval street paths. Its urban center has been considered a Historic Artistic Site since 1982, as well as its majestic Collegiate Church declared a National Monument.
A village located in an extraordinary natural enclave, thanks to the passage of the river Vero that after its passage forms large cliffs and leaves us amazing views.
We will also discover the magnificent cuisine of the place, DO Somontano wines and high quality regional product.
More about the tour
The name of the village comes from the Arabic القصر al qaçr for “fort” or “castle” (renamed as Alcazar in Spanish). The castle became the main defense point of the nearby city of Barbastro.
Since Alquézar is situated in the Sierra y Cañones de Guara Natural Park, there are various campsites in the local area to cater to outdoor enthusiasts. Popular activities include canyoning, walking, rock climbing and abseiling, as well as ornithology (since vultures nest on the steep faces of the Rio Vero canyon).
What it will include
- Private transport
- Guide visit to wine Winery DO Somontano
- Ticket to Castillo de Alquezar
- Lunch at a local restaurant
