Broto is also worth
exploring on foot
Broto's historic centre keeps its traditional Pyrenean layout, with stone houses and the Church of San Pedro Apóstol, dating from the 16th century, as one of its most representative buildings. A relaxed walk through its streets is the perfect complement to a day of physical activity.
Local food has its own star dish too: patatas a la chilindrón, a typical dish of the region, essential after a day of via ferrata, canyoning or hiking in Ordesa. Ask at the village restaurants for this traditional Aragonese recipe.
