In the heart of Huesca, the town of Fraga has become an essential destination for nature and spring flowering lovers, offering an experience that competes in beauty and appeal with the famous routes of the Jerte Valley. This year, the Aragonese town celebrates the magic of flowering with its “Fraga Flowering” initiative, highlighting not only the natural aesthetics of its landscapes but also the value of its local agriculture, a key piece in the economic engine of the Cinca Medio Region.
The initiative includes the “VII Ruta de la Floración” and the “II Música entre las Flores”, two events designed to captivate visitors on Sundays 10 and 17 March, combining sport, culture and tourism in a colourful setting. The organisers, led by the City Council, have prepared three different itineraries: two trails of 15 and 9 kilometres respectively, suitable for walking, and a 9-kilometre route designed for cycling enthusiasts. These routes promise to be an accessible and enjoyable experience for everyone, from families to groups of friends.
The Flowering Route not only invites you to explore the beautiful landscapes of Fraga, but also serves as an educational window on the flowering of almond trees and other fruit trees, providing participants with detailed information through QR codes at designated points. This year, the event is enriched by the participation of local musicians and teachers from the Musical Institute and Professional Music Conservatory, who will provide a unique soundtrack to the experience with the “II Music among the Flowers”.
The Councillor for Tourism, Verónica Alins, underlined the importance of these activities to promote agriculture and attract visitors, while Celsa Rufas, Vice-President of the Provincial Council of Huesca, celebrated Fraga's ability to turn its fruit sector into a tourist attraction. Idoia Moreno, head of the local Tourist Office, explained that the experience seeks to celebrate the agricultural heritage and history of the region, creating a unique link between the past and the present.
Registration for the Flowering Route is open until March 7, promising attendees a day full of colors, aromas, and sounds that capture the essence of spring. With complementary activities such as children's games and music and entertainment spaces at the end of the tour, Fraga is positioned as an emerging tourist destination, ready to amaze visitors with its natural spectacle and its commitment to promoting culture and sustainable tourism.
