The Val D'Aran route
This route takes you into the Atlantic valley, bathed by the River Garona. This lovely region conserves many traditions, their language and their own wealth of customs, different from the rest of the province. The climate here is humid and marginally less sunny due to the various mountain summits which border it, (up to an impressive 3,000m in altitude ).
One of the most famous traditions preserved here is the Crema deth Haro en Les, a magnificent cultural fire festival worth seeing. There are various reserves in this area suitable for hunting and fishing, though permits need to be obtained via the Sociedad de Cazadores y Pescadores or the El Servei Territorial del Medi Natural de Lleida.
