Huesca (Spain) is the most northern, and most diverse, of Aragon's three provinces. It covers both the wild High Pyrenees, their wooded foothills and the steppes in the basin of the Ebro.

* 21 routes (car and walk)
* 26 site descriptions
* Where to watch birds information
* Finding butterflies, wildflowers, reptiles, etc.
