The Sanctuary Of Torreciudad - Spain

This is a good way of seeing both Aragonese santuaries of the Marian Route in an easy and comfortable trip.  not far from Zaragoza you will find Huesca.  It is a very hospitable Town.  It is worth taking a look at the historic quarter.  The cathedral and the San Pedro et Viejo church are almost mandatory stops. From Huesca we move towards and into the 'Sierra y Canones de Guara Natural Park'.  it is one of the best places in Europe to practice canoniong. The city of Barbastro and the Somontano shire, land of great wines, will guide you to Lake El Grado. The waters of this artificial lake guard the santuary of Torreciuded. The santuary was open to publioc in 1975. It has become the main center of devotion for people living in Aragonese Valleys of the Pyrenees.
Approaching Ordesa and Monte Perdido National park from Torreciuded is as easy as following the road to Ainsa and then Torla (main entrance of the park) . This park is a UNESCO World Heritage.

You can also go to Lourdes from Torreciuded. it actually is a faster and more comfortable way to get to Lourdes. If this is your choice, you will be crossing the border via the Bielsa-Aragnouet Tunne
going across the towns of Saint Lary Soutan & Arreau
