Serviced Apartments in Jaca

In the north east of Spain, right by the border of France, in the midst of the Pyrenees, is the city of Jaca. Originally a medieval town that was the capital of the Kingdom of Aragon until 1097, Jaca is a destination steeped in history and there is plenty of opportunity to explore this during a stay in one of Jaca’s short term apartments.

The town is known for its culture, most notably for the historical monuments that can be found there. The cathedral is probably the most popular place to visit when staying in a Jaca holiday apartment. Built in the eleventh century, it is dedicated to San Pedro and marks the beginnings of Romanesque art in Spain. It also has an art museum located in the out buildings, home to various works including sculptures, paintings and historical objects of interest. Other sites that are well worth seeing are the churches, both quite different, one with a Renaissance structure, and another with a gothic influence. Just taking a stroll through the town will present you with many different architectural wonders, including the Panticosa Spa, another popular sight worth visiting.

Jaca is not only a holiday destination for sightseeing but also for those who are looking for an adventurous break, which is filled with the opportunity to take part in many different sports and activities. For those who like to ski, there are two nearby ski resorts, both of which are only 33km away, called Astún and Candanchú. If you would prefer to rent a holiday apartment in Jaca during the summer, the mountains can also play host to a range of different activities. Trekking, mountain biking and horse riding are all fantastic ways to explore the region, and over the past few years, rafting and canyoning have become popular pastimes too and are definitely worth having a go at.

One of the more favoured times to rent a serviced accommodation or self-catered apartment in Jaca is in the summer, when the area enjoys warm temperatures in the 20s Celsius. If you decide to take a trip at the end of June, you can enjoy the Fiestas de Santa Orosia y San Pedro. It is a week long festival celebrating the city’s patron saints. During the week you can experience the local cuisine at its best, as well as enjoying various entertainment, such as concerts, cultural performances and religious ceremonies.
