  • Peaceful Huesca site with spectacular mountain views at Panzano
  • Formiga River 15 minutes’ walk; Riglos rock formations an hour’s drive
  • Swimming pool, restaurant and bar; extreme sports available on site
In this life there are spectacular views and really, really spectacular views. If you’re interested in the latter, head up to the Huesca region’s tiny hamlet of Panzano and book in at Camping Cañones de Guara y Formiga. Sitting in shaded grounds planted with olive trees, this peaceful spot is at the foot of Tozal de Guara and surrounded by the mountains of Sierra y Cañones de Guara Natural Park. There’s certainly plenty to keep everybody busy. You can drift around the swimming pool by day, sip cooling drinks from the bar or linger over leisurely restaurant dinners – and there’s a takeaway service too, if you’d rather eat en famille back at your accommodation. If you choose to go down the self-catering line, a communal kitchen and shared barbecues are offered too. The more active among you can get stuck into canyoning through the ravines along the Formiga River, or go hiking and mountain biking in the arid, rugged Sierra de Guara foothills. Finally, some practicalities: facilities cover spotless and accessible showers, a washing-up area and washing machine. And remote as the site appears, it’s still relatively easy to reach as the main N-240 is only 25 minutes’ drive away.

Local attractions

A myriad of bizarre rock formations can be seen at Rodellar (50 minutes’ drive), Vadiello (40 minutes, where there are also awesome views over the namesake dam) and Riglos (about an hour). Something else you won’t see every day is bearded vultures in their natural habitat at Loarre (55 minutes) – they are surprisingly tame and you can get quite close to observe them. The Sierra y Cañones de Guara Natural Park is famed for its challenging canyoning along the Formiga River (15 minutes’ walk), family-friendly hiking in woodland and harder way-marked trails in the mountain foothills. Cyclists are well looked after too, with MTB, enduro, road and gravel routes throughout the park. If you need a day off from all that action, it’s worth having a potter around Panzano (direct access), overshadowed somewhat by Tozal de Guara, at 2077 metres the highest peak in the Sierra de Guara. Now with just a handful of residents, the village has a striking Romanesque-style church, a peaceful central square and the vibe of a bygone age.
