Rivers of Aragon I - Adahuesca Medieval Village

About Adahuesca Medieval Village

Adahuesca is the perfect village for an overnight stay when visiting Alquézar and Salto de Bierge because of its location between the two. It is possible to stay in Alquézar but the prices are higher and availability low, in the high season. Near to the Salto de bierge there is only one hostel for overnight accommodation so options are limited. When I stayed in Adahuesca, we rented a 4 bed apartment for a great price and had a three course evening meal in the restaurant garden. Prices were fair without having excessive tourist mark-up.

I recommend renting an apartment for four people sharing in Apartamentos Vino Tinto Adahuesca. I stayed here when I did this weekend trip and the apartment was perfect for our needs. We had dinner in Restaurante Tomate Rosa in the garden. The cost of the apartment per person was around €25 and dinner cost about €20. The village is super chilled out and not too touristy like Alquézar so I slept really well in the apartment.

An alternative would be to stay in Albergue Crux hostel. We actually had breakfast here at 9am in the morning.

Visiting Adahuesca Medieval Village

When staying overnight in Adahuesca it is likely that you will not have time to explore the village. However When I stayed in the village, I slept so well that I woke up at 6am and did some sunrise exploring.

Highlights of Adhuesca Village are:

• Mirador Adahuesca: A viewpoint looking towards the Sierra y Cañones de Guara Natural Park mountains that was once the site of Castillo de los Santos. This was a religious-military complex constructed in the 11th century as a lookout tower for the control of Alquézar castle.
  Plaza San Pedro 4, 22147 Adahuesca
• Ermita de Nuestra Señora de Treviño: 13th century church dedicated to the Virgen is a late Romanesque ashlar construction with archivolts and a covered porch with large windows. The side chapels of the church were also added in later periods. The apse is inside the semicircle with a polygonal shape. The corbels supported by sculpted statues are very numerous. On the west facade there is a Gothic portico and a battlement. Medieval remains of murals with the image of the apostles were found in the church. The remains of a cemetery near the church show the possible presence of a populated area to which the church of Nuestra Señora de Treviño could have belonged.

• Casa Loscertales: Is an ancestral home with a defensive character and takes its name from the Certero family who were mountain shepherds. Because of their good aim with a slingshot, they helped Pedro I in the battle of Alcoraz against the Moors before he regained Huesca. It is a large building composed of 3 floors, the lower one made of stone, like a plinth, and the two upper ones made of brick. On the ground floor, two doors open, one in a semi-circular arch, in the right corner of the building, and the other in the center, at the front, probably with a rear opening. On the first floor there are 3 fronted balconies, between 2 of which there is a niche with a religious image. The third floor is traversed by a gallery of indented rooms.

• Plaza de las Santas: is the main square of the village and is surronded by historic buildings and Iglesia De San Pedro Apóstol.
