As it passes through the Mont-rebei gorge, the Noguera Ribagorcana rivers runs through the dephts of a canyon that reaches heights of 500 metres, with a span that narrows at points to less than 20 metres. It is the country's last great gorge that remains in a nearly pristine state but that is also easily accessible to visitors. It is crossed only by a bridle path that has been cut into the rock, allowing visitors to enjoy the spectacular scenery.
August 2020 Amazing day hiking in Mont Rebei! Couple of things to note that we wished we had known before: Take lots of water, food, some goggles and solid trainers to hike in. Maybe even some water shoes if you want to dive in from the cliffs or bridges. And loo roll if you need to go! The website for booking the parking at Masieta was down and didn’t work, and the email address doesn’t get a response and they don’t speak very good English if you manage to get through by phone. So we decided to just wing it and drive there to see what the situation was. Instantly we were told we needed an online booking voucher and that the car park was full. If the car park is full, don’t worry, you can drive a bit further up the road and just leave your car tucked out of the way on the side, everyone seems to do this as the car park is so small. We did this, and ended up saving the money it costs to park, win win! You then just enter the park through the car park and there’s a small shop at the entrance to buy snacks and more water and a toilet (the only toilet there is, otherwise you have to pee in the nature!) We decided to take the most popular path all the way to the suspension bridge which took about 2hours with stops along the way. We stopped for lunch At a point just beyond the suspension bridge, then carried on about another hour to climb the famous Monfalco stairs (basically some wooden stairs bolted to the face of a cliff, not for the faint hearted!!) We went down there, and then up again. We then started to slowly head back and stopped for a couple of swims as it was really hot and we had run out of water! Manage to get some water at the shop at the entrance as we left though. We spent about 5-6 hours there overall and it was beautiful. Tomorrow, we are going back, but to the Corca car park where we’ve booked Kayaks, as we want to experience the Gorge from down below. Zenith Aventura is who we booked through, and we opted for a twilight session from 4pm (50 euros for a double kayak until 9pm) You can pay to rent kayaks when you are in the park so that you only have to walk one way, but we’ve decided to just go back another day rather than combine everything into one.

Well, we really enjoyed our visit although we did not go inside. We had decided to visit Lleida on our way home from the coast but after I had made the booking, I was unsure that there would be much activity in the city on a Sunday. It was a lovely day, the last Sunday in October and we decided to go up to the church. From the square there are steps, but also a lift and an escalator that can be taken half way up and then there is another lift which goes almost all the way to the top. The views were stunning and we found that there was a fiesta in progress. There was a classic car rally, a group of drummers, line dancing, people dressed up in old uniforms, archery, stalls selling local produce etc. It was great. We had our dog with us so could coy go inside so we will leave that for another visit. I had read reviews saying that it was a crumbling edifice, but we found it interesting and beautiful. There is a nice cafe near the top with views over the river and the prices are less that you would expect. Well worth the visit and I hope to come back again.

One cannot avoid getting lost in this charming town in the Aran Valley and any path one takes will always take you and this beautiful Romanesque church will be present. Declared a Cultural Asset of National Interest, it is considered a standard of Aranese Romanesque architecture, it is located on a high point where the castle of Arties also stood, of which only one tower remains It has two access doorways, the main one, which opens onto the north façade, is spectacular with semicircular arches, the decoration has semicircular motifs, the last archivolt is finished off with a border identical to that of the cornice of the apses. Two corbel stones are decorated in the shape of male faces, A cross is engraved on one of the blocks next to the door The church has an altarpiece that represents several biblical scenes from the life of the Virgin Mary, on the ceiling there are some masterful wall paintings, which represent the biblical scenes of the Last Judgment with hell, heaven and the resurrection of the dead.
