Guasillo: San Adrián, Santa Orosia and Trails

Guasillo lies in the Campo de Jaca at an altitude of 868 metres, on a natural elevation on the southern slope of Monte Asieso. Surrounded by grain fields, almond trees, gardens and pastureland for cattle and sheep, the settlement is characterised by agricultural land.

For orientation, the altitude, hillside location and different types of land can be considered separately.

Routes between Jaca and Guasillo

The Jaca–Guasillo–Asieso route takes two hours and passes through Guasillo; it includes a stop at the Church of San Adrián. The PR-HU 52 Grosín route runs through Guasillo and Asieso and takes 4 hours and 55 minutes. The PR-HU 63 Abay route is a four-hour circular trail from Jaca via Asieso, Guasillo, Banagüás and Abay, returning to Jaca.

The three durations clearly distinguish the routes described. For planning your own day, the options can be arranged side by side according to duration and route, without grouping them into a single type of route.

Culture and Pilgrimage

The Parish Church of San Adrián was built in the 18th century over an earlier Romanesque church. Its main altar was created in the first half of the 18th century by the sculptor Juan de Puey, who came from France.

The adjoining bell tower of the Church of San Adrián has a divided window with small semicircular arches and a rectangular, recessed frame in the form of an alfiz. The window reflects the influence of the church group in the Gállego area.

Guasillo is the only place on the right bank of the Aragón River that takes part in the pilgrimages from Yebra de Basa and Jaca on 25 June in honour of Saint Santa Orosia.

For personal planning, architecture, sculpture, building form and pilgrimage can be considered as different cultural themes side by side.

Festivals and Historic Traces

Guasillo’s main festival takes place on 24 August in honour of Saint Bartholomew. The ruins of the Hermitage of San Bartolomé lie north of Guasillo. Since 1258, the Hermitage of San Bartolomé also belonged to the monastery of San Juan de la Peña.

The festival date and the ruins mark two different points of reference in time. They can be considered separately when exploring the village: on the one hand, a fixed date, and on the other, a historical trace handed down through the generations with a connection to the monastery.

Other Places

For further orientation, you can also refer to the place names Aguascaldas, Biscarrués, Quicena, Denúy, Canfranc, Sipán, Monzón and Arto.

Accommodation in Guasillo

When planning a holiday apartment in Guasillo, you can compare travel dates, apartment category and cancellation conditions. The landscape, trails, church and feast days provide different points of reference when choosing a location. When booking a holiday apartment in Guasillo, apartment category and cancellation conditions can also matter in addition to the travel dates; this keeps the accommodation details separate and clearly organised from the village’s thematic focuses of landscape, culture and pilgrimage.

Casa Casbas has three apartments, each accommodating 4 to 6 people.
