Hiking

The monastery of Santa María de Iguácel, built next to the bed of the Ijuez river, is a Romanesque building from the 11th century. Thanks to later reforms, it is in a very good state of conservation. It is worth visiting the interior, as the apse is decorated with paintings that may have been done around the 15th century.

The church of Santa María de Iguácel is a Spanish Romanesque church in Larrosa, Jacetania, Huesca province, Aragón. It is located in the valley called Garcipollera near the Camino de Santiago. The monastery had great devotion and was very famous in its time, so much so that King Sancho Ramírez granted it the nearby town of Larrosa. It can be accessed by the Canfranc road, taking the detour when arriving at Castiello de Jaca, from there follow the valley.
