Senegüé between glacial landforms and history

Senegüé lies on the terminal moraine of the Gállego Glacier, one of the best-preserved glacial landforms in the Pyrenees. At four different points in the village, information boards explain the traces of glaciation and offer easily accessible panoramic views over the Valle de Tena.

Nature and landscape

The Centro de Interpretación de los Glaciares de Senegüé is located in the Torre Defensiva de los Baguer, dating from the 16th century. Unguided visits to the centre are scheduled for 11:00 and 17:00; guided visits to the centre and the moraine are scheduled for 12:15 and 18:15.

A section of trail, fixed visiting hours and panoramic viewpoints are different ways of structuring a visit. The information can be considered separately, depending on whether the focus is on landscape, interpretation or movement.

On the respective listing pages for a holiday apartment in Senegüé, you can compare travel dates, room category and cancellation policies. When planning your own trip, these three details can be weighted differently, depending on which aspects are particularly important to you when making your choice.

Another destination for your travel planning is Larrés.

Culture and history

On Senegüé's main square stands a cross dating from the 17th century, one of the oldest features in the village. The Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción in Senegüé is an 18th-century building. Inside are Baroque altarpieces dedicated to San Lorenzo, Nuestra Señora del Rosario and San Francisco Javier, as well as a medieval altarpiece of the Virgen del Collado.

The tower of the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción dates from before the 16th century and has four sections.

A mill in Senegüé is documented in a privilege granted by Alfonso I in 1125, making it one of the earliest mills mentioned in the comarca. The Acequia bringing water from the río Gállego and a rear water chamber with a sluice gate for regulating the water flow have survived from the Molino de Senegüé.

Senegüé's patron-saint festivities take place around 29 September in honour of San Miguel.

Getting around

The GR 16 – Sendero del Serrablo includes a 2.2-kilometre detour to Senegüé. From Senegüé, the Puente de las Pilas can be reached via the path behind the village centre, heading east. The trail length and the direction described are two separate reference points for planning.

The Puente Las Pilas dates from 1590. From Zaragoza or Pamplona, the route to Senegüé follows the N-330 and then the N-260 towards Sabiñánigo.
