Jaca, the town of ice and snow
If you think that there are no winter sports in Spain, you haven’t been to Jaca. When its founders decided that the Pyrenees were the right place to settle, more than two millennia ago, they didn’t think that the location would define the essence of the town and its inhabitants forever. Jaca’s idyll with snow and ice dates back to the origins of the town.

In villages of the lower Pyrenees, such as Murillo de Gállego on the frontier between Zaragoza and Huesca, sledges are no longer exclusively for the winter. In fact it is in spring and summer when they are used most. Of course, the sledges we refer to are water sledges, not used to slide over the snow but rather to go down the rapids of the river Gállego. This is what is known as riverboarding. A neoprene suit, a helmet and some fins on your feet complete the equipment, although they are not the only requirements for doing this sport, and whoever wants to do it will have to be in good shape and know how to swim.
