Discover Casetas – Holiday Apartment, Church Art and Wetlands

Casetas tells its story through places where industry, sacred art and landscapes set different accents. Harinera del Ebro was designed in 1917 by Amancio Ercilla as a rectangular, three-storey building with load-bearing iron columns. As a building of architectural interest, it is catalogued in category A. Harinera del Ebro ceased operations in 2006.

When choosing a holiday apartment in Casetas, you can compare travel dates, room categories and cancellation policies on the respective offer pages. Reviewing these fields objectively leaves room to align your accommodation choice with your own preferred dates while keeping the town’s cultural and landscape themes in mind.

Culture

Iglesia de San Miguel was originally a chapel belonging to the House of the Dukes of Solferino. The Church of San Miguel in Casetas was built towards the end of the 18th century and is Neoclassical; it originally consisted of two naves and a straight-ended chancel. Iglesia de San Miguel contains two Gothic panels from the late 15th century: one depicting Saint Clare and another depicting a Calvary; both are attributed to Miguel Ximénez. When compiling your own interests, you can consider the building’s history and the works of art separately.

Nature

Balsa del Ojo del Cura is a wetland in Casetas characterised by natural inflows of saltwater. It belongs to a group of ponds and wetlands on the river terraces on the right bank of the Ebro. The wetlands around Balsa del Ojo del Cura provide habitats for various amphibians, birds and insects, as well as reeds and cattails. When choosing your personal themes, bodies of water, riverside landscapes and vegetation can be considered distinct aspects of nature alongside the cultural attractions.

Routes

The Ruta de Las Dolinas adds a specific hiking route. The 11.5-kilometre trail passes through the distinctive wetlands of Casetas and Garrapinillos; these wetlands are protected by Decree 204/2010 of the Government of Aragon. The Ruta de Las Dolinas connects the GR99 “Camino Natural del Ebro” with the Canal Imperial de Aragón. The specific length provides a clear basis for comparison, while the route’s connection with the GR99 “Camino Natural del Ebro” and the Canal Imperial de Aragón creates a different focus. When planning, you can therefore place greater emphasis either on the distance covered or on the character of the connection. For further orientation, Garrapinillos is also listed.

Festivals and Connections

Casetas celebrates the Fiestas in honour of the Virgen de la Rosa on the first Sunday in May. On 29 September, the San Miguel festival is celebrated in Casetas. The two dates fall in different months and can be considered as two separate time windows when planning a trip. The El Casetero public bus service connects Casetas with Zaragoza.
