Someday, and in a not too distant time this nightmare of the Covid will have passed. We know it because with all pandemics the same happens and that is why we believe that we can continue dreaming and organizing exits with our Rooftop Tent.
Today we propose a route through Huesca, without the need for you to have to go to a campsite (except in one that we propose because there is no place where you can park) and making a selection of the best areas so you can camp with certainty.
You may think that in winter it is cold and it is not a good idea to go with Rooftop Tent: No, you are wrong, with a Rooftop Tent You can travel all year, as if it were a camper because you can equip it perfectly:
A good sleeping bag (there is infinity that are prepared for winter).
A advance (Here you have a link so you can see it).
A heater (at one point the store is heated to 20 degrees, you can leave it on and turn off when everything is heated).
You can also opt for an electric blanket (they go wonderfully). And if you are not a lover of electric blankets there is still something of a lifetime that does not fail: hot water bottles.
And said that if we discover Huesca? First of all we will show a map with the suggested itinerary, and then, we will break down in each site the information related to what is worth visiting, what to eat, etc.
We are going to focus this time in the Ribagorza area. Because Huesca, although it is not one of the most extensive autonomous communities if it is true that it deserves more than one route because of that, I think that part will like you very much:
In a map such as Ribagorza it is true that it costs a bit to decide on the sites that are worth visiting. Because everything really has its charm, so we have based on those places that have been best valued by campists.
We will start with Benasque: Benasque can say that it is the jewel of the ribagorza, a town full of charm, well preserved and with friendly people. And they are friendly and open because throughout the year they receive hordes from visitors and athletes ski -lovers, both alpine, in the background, etc.
In Benasque you will enjoy impressive views, Aneto, the Maladeta and if you are more daring/you can climb to Cerler and enjoy its ski tracks. For those who prefer quiet walks Benasque has a lot to offer: good restaurants and highlight a good gastronomy and local product. Be sure to try: Benasque's pate, Benasqués cheese and the breads of the Gairín bakery. Also the Perucho bakery where they make a great firewood bread.
If you like meat, for example, you can't stop going to Balledon butcher shop. But if you prefer the best local product selection you cannot stop going and supply in the town flavors store, you will love it.
To be able to be in Benasque we recommend a great ac area which you can visit in this LINK
Also remind you that in Benasque there is a magnificent Spa, where if you wish you can go to relax or even do some treatment.
And we would like to recommend a restaurant. From a cheaper but quality to another perhaps more expensive but will not leave you indifferent.
You can go to the Llardana (just at the entrance of Benasque) or opt for something more popular, such as Planet 81 in Cerler, where you can enjoy hamburgers, pizzas and salads, all very good.
And what if we are on the way to Castejón de Sos?
Once we have left Benasque, do not forget to make a small stop in villages that are between Benasque and Castejón de Sos, in this case we refer to Sesué, Vilanova and Chia. Maybe in Chia you should be somewhat longer and give you a good sack of chia potatoes (very good for cooking). And a meal in the Chongastán Restaurant, an emblematic of the area where you can enjoy a great food at a reasonable price.
In Chia, in addition to highlighting some impressive views you can visit the Romanesque church and its twelfth century tower dedicated to San Martín. The parish church of San Vicente of the eighteenth century and the hermitage of the nineteenth century.
We continue our route and we arrive at Castejón de Sos, where it deserves a night of the night to discover the town a little more.
Castejón de sos
We can say that Castejón de Sos is the paradise of hikers, of adventure sports lovers. In the same way of all those travelers who wish to know a town of Alta Ribagorza with all the essence that it entails. Its people are kind, their establishments offer tourists a warm welcome even in colder days.
Drive for him Congosto of Ventamillo He advances to this beautiful place that we are going to visit.
Paradise of hikers, lovers of the paragliding or also the flights in the plane or ultralight that also show us the greatness of this wonderful valley.

The site made it a day picnic area but without problems spending the night and parking. Here we leave the coordinates so that you do not miss: the coordinates of the enabled area are 42 ° 31’06 ″ N 0 ° 29’06 ″ E.
In Castejón de Sos both in winter and summer you have a gastronomic offer. You have restaurants and bars to choose at popular prices and with good quality, you will not be disappointed. In addition there is a good atmosphere both in summer and winter so you will always find travelers with whom to speak and share experiences.
On the way to Laspaúles….
We leave Castejón de Sos and head towards the pales. No before making an express visit in Renanué, near where the famous Veri water is bottled and that you have surely tried more than once.
Finally we arrive at Laspaúles, a town between Castejón de Sos and the population of Pont de Suert, in Lleida, surrounded by mountains and on the edge of the Isábena river.
In Laspaúles, despite being a small town and few inhabitants have a campsite that is open all year. Both in summer and winter and has a magnificent restaurant as well as a supermarket that is also always open from Monday to Sunday.
The people have many tourist attractions. Not only at the level of nature but also this town is known by the famous Witches of Laspaúles.
This episode of Oscense history came to light in 1981, when the parish priest of this town, Domingo Subías, found between 1000 and 1200 hidden manuscripts in the church bell tower. The texts were sent to the University of Heidelberg to be analyzed and verify their authenticity.
They described how women of poisoning of neighbors, the abduction and murder of children for ritual purposes were accused. Of the manufacture of prohibited ointments, as well as digging up corpses to obtain ingredients for their poisons.
In addition, a document dated February 19, 1593 appears in which the adjustments and the four days of collective hanging were produced, a fact that is described by the researcher Carlos Garcés in his work The bad seed.
That is why and in tribute to these women who perished a route has been designed and a museum in the population has been accommodated to explain what really happened and does not remain for oblivion.
In Laspaúles you can spend the night but only in the campsite, which entitles the use of bathrooms, conditioned even in winter and for a price of about € 10/spell.
The camping has all the comforts, even pool in summer for those who want to take a bath, as well as take some at the bar, the terrace or eat in the restaurant.
Do not forget that the people of Laspaúles have medical dispensary, town hall, bank with cashier and food and bread store, as well as a apothecary with the basics and necessary in medicines, but we really hope you don't have to use it!
If you want to have dinner you can also go to the La Bruixa hostel, and if it is a Friday you can always enjoy its cane and cover.
