The small town of Huescar is known as “Cuidad de la Paz” (City of Peace). It sits at an altitude of 953 metres and has a population of less than 8,500. Its ancient traditions and folklore are kept alive and the rural lifestyle is that of the authentic Andalusian village. The natural surroundings are picturesque, with the stunning backdrop of mountain peaks and greenery.
Just outside the town there is an outdoor fresh water pool where all the family can enjoy a swim and every Thursday there is a village market. Outdoor activities abound, whether it’s walking in the Vidriera pine forest or taking to the Sagra Mountain tracks, the natural beauty is in abundance. For those who prefer a gentler walk, there is also the Rodriguez Penalva Municipal Park in the Avenida de Granada.
