Monday 8th-Saturday 13th September 2025

Matarraña, a lesser-known region in eastern Aragon, and one of the most beautiful in Spain, is often referred to as the ‘Spanish Tuscany’.  Both areas are renowned for their small medieval towns, cobblestone streets, charming squares, towers, and bridges, but their feel is very different.   Matarraña hides authentic artistic and natural treasures. Its villages have preserved their medieval or Renaissance atmosphere to such an extent that when you walk through them you will feel like you are in another era. Towns such as Valderrobres and Calaceite preserve urban complexes that take you back to times gone by.

This will be a smaller group trip, which will include several guided walking tours, along with free time to wander through the narrow streets of these interesting little towns and to enjoy a coffee or a glass of wine in one of the many pretty squares.

We will also have a unique experience – a private visit to the Observatorio de aves Mas de Bunyol, a bird observatory built on top of a vulture feeding ground integrated with nature
