After a relatively demanding program in Catalonia, we needed a little rest. And we found a place – tailor-made for this purpose. The village of San Esteban de Litera in the Aragon region offered everything we needed. We could admire this aqueduct called Perera just before arriving in the town.
On its outskirts…a beautiful – cozy, quiet, and clean place to spend the night, including services (free), and simultaneously in the middle of nature, which offers shorter or longer trails for walking or cycling.
As part of the rest, we chose an approximately 6 km circuit to the Ermita de San Isidro hermitage, towering above the village. We found the trail on Wikiloc. Its beginning is not in the parking lot but outside the town, so we had to search a little with the help of the outdoor navigation Locus Map. But we did not regret it.
The trail is lined with animal and human statues, and we were alone on it. So we were happy to take our two cats on the hike, who “enjoyed” the hike in the backpacks on our backs.
Near the parking lot is a municipal park, a swimming pool, a small botanical garden, and a local restaurant. We stayed longer and gained strength for further trips to the mountains and the beauties of nature. We recommend it for travelers in this area.
Everything important and up-to-date can be found on the official website of the municipality:
