Spaniards have been keeping on of the most  spectacular national parks a secret for almost a century. The Parque Nacional de Ordesa y Monte Perido, nestled in the central border between Spain and France is claimed to be the Yosemite of the Pyrenees. With steep canyon cliffs leading into the lush green Valley of Ordesa, the park has a monopoly on one of the most unique geological and ecological landscapes in all of Europe.

Villiage of Torla, Spain
Monte Perdido, Lost Mountain, towers over the landscape at the terminus of the Cirque de Soaso at the end of the Valley of Ordesa. The valley is home to an incredible diversity of ecosystems and landscapes. Walk through pine forests that turn to alpine meadows; another bend in the trail leads to a birch stand and around the corner a carpet of mountain laurel. The abundant wildlife and fantastic flora offer rare glimpses of ibex and chamois as well as the elusive edelweiss. Ridge walks offer unforgettable views down the valley and to the highest peaks in the Pyrenees.
Tucked amid the highest peaks of the Pyrenees, the tiny village of Torla, having less than 200 inhabitants, is lost in time. Be immersed in the Spain of old, sampling the local specialties of jamon and queso viejo. The stone buildings, most built before 1600, small cobblestone streets and untouched charm of this former farming town has been plucked from a storybook.
