Igriés: Chapel, Festivals and Trails in the Pinar

Igriés’s cultural trail begins at the Ermita de San Juan. The Romanesque chapel dates from the 12th century. In the upper part of Igriés, the Cruz de San Juan stands in front of the façade of the Ermita de San Juan and the cemetery. Those who read the village through its buildings can regard the chapel, cross and cemetery as three separate cultural points of reference.

Culture

The parish church of Igriés is dedicated to Nuestra Señora de la Esperanza. The present building of the parish church of Nuestra Señora de la Esperanza dates from 1950. Its dedication and year of construction precisely establish the religious site in both religious and historical terms. For your planning, these sacred themes can be considered as a separate cultural focus alongside the festival dates and trails in the Pinar.

Festivals and Pilgrimages

Three dates are part of the annual calendar in Igriés. On 20 January, celebrations are held in honour of San Sebastián and San Fabián. On the first Saturday in May, a pilgrimage is held in honour of the Virgen de Cillas. On the second Saturday in May, celebrations are held in honour of the Virgen del Olivar. The sequence of one January date and two Saturdays in May makes it easier to distinguish the dates when planning a trip. Those wishing to plan a stay around a particular occasion can consider these three dates separately.

Cycling and Trails

The Pinar de Igriés is home to an official cross-country course, considered the first of its kind in Aragón. The Circuito XC is signposted from Igriés; its loop begins about 750 metres from the village. The Circuito XC can be combined with other marked downhill trails in the Pinar de Igriés. The trails in the Pinar de Igriés are shared by hikers, horse riders and cyclists. For your own daily planning, the loop, downhill trails and shared-use paths can be considered as different forms of activity alongside one another.

Landscape

Igriés is situated on a hill and offers views from its heights of the landscape contrasts of the comarca. The view from above provides a distinct landscape focus alongside the sacred sites, festivals and trails. You can arrange these themes according to your preferred focus, considering culture, fixed dates, cycling and hiking trails, and the landscape perspective separately.

When comparing a holiday apartment in Igriés, you can review the travel period, room category and cancellation conditions on the respective offer page side by side. These three fields are part of your personal planning and are independent of the local cultural, festival, landscape and trail themes. Depending on your preferred focus, these themes can be given separate weight in your travel planning without having to combine them into a single programme. In this way, sacred sites, fixed dates, activity in the Pinar and the view from the hilltop can remain separate reasons for a visit alongside one another.
