The Ordesa Valley, a national treasure for all audiences

We arrived in the Ordesa Valley via Broto . Our first stop. We visited Broto and enjoyed an icy swim in its river.

From Broto, we go to Torla . A beautiful village at the gateway to the Ordesa Valley. In summer, Torla is difficult for campervans and motorhomes. Not like we remember from an autumn when we climbed Monte Perdido. What memories those days were, when we used to summit three-thousanders! Now, with children, things have changed a lot!

They do not let you spend the night anywhere. It is only allowed to spend the night in a campsite. There are a lot of campsites luckily. We start looking for camping and everyone is full. Luckily, the most remote and with the least services have a free plot. We spend the night at the San Antón campsite without a pool, but with baths and a hot shower, something important on a trip with a California without a toilet or hot water boiler.

In the morning we parked in the parking lot where the bus to Pradera de Ordesa takes. They don't let cars through during the summer and you have to go by bus.

Once in the Ordesa Meadow, we set off on the waterfall route . A 10 km circular route where we'll visit three waterfalls. Arnau, at only 5 years old, does it wonderfully well. And along the way back, we come across small beaches in the river where we reward him with several refreshing swims.

For those who do not have a mountain seat for the youngest of the family, in the Padera de Ordesa store you can rent one. We did it for Anna and it was great.
