Aragon is a region in northern Spain that remains relatively undiscovered by many travellers. Nestled in the well-known Pyrenees mountains, Aragon offers a fantastic destination for winter sports such as skiing and snowboarding. In the summer, it transforms into a perfect spot for a sunny holiday, making it ideal for camping. While winter camping might not be the best idea due to the cold, Aragon's summers are perfect for a camping adventure.
Given its reputation as a winter sports destination, it’s no surprise that Aragon is home to many impressive mountains. Located in the Pyrenees, the region offers beautiful peaks that are great for hiking and climbing during a camping holiday. One of the benefits of camping in Aragon is the freedom to move from site to site, allowing you to explore different parts of the region and even take several days to climb a mountain while staying at various campsites along the way.
Aragon is rich in history and features a number of castles, monasteries, and picturesque villages to explore. One highlight is the Monastery of San Juan de la Peña, beautifully situated among the mountains. Reaching the monastery is a bit of an adventure, but it’s well worth the effort. The first three kings of Aragon are buried here, adding to its historical significance.
The region also offers several museums, perfect for art lovers and those interested in local culture. Here, you can admire works by talented artists from the area. In addition to its museums, Aragon boasts several beautiful cities that are well worth a visit.
Aragon is located not far from Barcelona, making it easy to combine your camping trip with a visit to this vibrant city. If you’re traveling with a caravan, you can take your time and explore more along the way. Within Aragon itself, cities like Huesca, Zaragoza (the capital of Aragon), Barbastro, and Jaca offer plenty to see. The region’s Roman history is still visible in many monuments and charming villages built in Roman style.
Camping in Aragon is an excellent choice. The province of Huesca alone features a wide selection of campsites, so you’re sure to find one that suits your needs. Many campsites are well-reviewed and often include a swimming pool—ideal if you’re travelling with children. There are also plenty of fun (sports) activities available, such as bicycle rentals for exploring the mountains or visiting a small local church. Most campsites also offer activities for kids, ensuring that everyone in the family has a memorable holiday.
Aragon doesn’t have a coastline, so swimming in the sea isn’t an option here. However, there are several lakes where you can swim, and some campsites are located right by the water, making it easy to enjoy a relaxing swim or even a water-based holiday. Another great option is to stay at a campsite by a stream or river, where you’ll often have the chance to go canoeing—a fun activity for the whole family. All in all, a holiday in Spain, and specifically in Aragon, offers plenty of enjoyable activities for everyone. And if you ever feel like taking it easy, it’s the perfect place to relax with a good book.
