This guide covers the central part of the Spanish Pyrenees, including the dry, desert-like Ebro basin to its south. Administratively, this is the northern part of the Autonomous region of Aragón and coincides for the larger part with the province of Huesca. This guide covers the some famous Pyrenean valleys and sierras:

  • Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park
  • Aneto and Benasque
  • Jaca and the Hecho Valley
  • Sierra de Guara and the Somontano
  • Los Monegros (including Belchite / El Planerón)
  • Laguna de Gallocanta

The Crossbill Guide is a thorough and practical guide for naturalists and nature lovers. It offers background information,  routes and site descriptions, plus tips on finding and watching all kinds of wildlife. Each route offers detailed descriptions of where to find birds, wildlife and wildflowers. The Crossbill Guide to The Spanish Pyrenees offers a mix of walking routes and car itineraries with stops and short walks. Although some are challenging, all the walks in this book are designed to explore the landscape and find birds and wildlife rather than simply covering ground.
