A haven in the middle of nowhere

Protected by a large boulder and nestled between the flows of the Gállego and the Aguas Limpias, Sallent de Gállego is like a haven in the middle of nowhere.

The town was, from the XIII century, the most important in the Valle de Tena area, and although its fortified towers disappeared a long time ago, its narrow and winding little streets, an old stone bridge, a lovely Gothic church from the beginning of the XVI century and noble manor houses with slate roof are still preserved.

Sallent is surrounded by modern housing estates and ski stations, however, the four safe kilometres that separate it from the nearest, which are in Formigal, have made the village seem apart from the changes which time has brought to the valley, and maintains its peaceful rhythm, its silence and its sleepy atmosphere, loaded with history.

Planning my next trip already

This small mountain village called Sallent de Gállego is one of the prettiest in the Aragon Pyrenees (in the Tena valley); I was impressed.

What I liked the best about Sallent was losing myself in its streets of stone built houses, enjoying the silence, its river and medieval bridge covered in snow and illuminated, the walk we took of about 10 minutes to the gothic church of La Asunción in the high part of the village; taking a walk through its streets is very special.

Also, there are good bars if you want to have a drink and a couple of good restaurants. It is a good option for accommodation if you like to ski in the Formigal ski station, because it is only 15 minutes away by car.
