JULY IN ARAGON IS THE MONTH WHEN THE HEAT STARTS AND WE LIKE TO FIGHT THE HEAT WITH REFRESHING SPACES, THAT INVITE TO THE SWIM AND THAT ARE ALSO NATURAL AND BEAUTIFUL. THIS IS OUR BEST SELECTION OF BATHING AREAS IN ARAGON.
NATURAL POOLS OF BECEITE
Beceite and in general the Matarraña is an oasis for bathing. The reservoir of Pena, the Salt, the banks of the Algars… the Matarraña river and its affluents create great bathing areas. Today we bring you the natural swimming pool of Beceite, L’Assut. It is 500 meters from the village and has a parking lot.
WATERFALL OF BIERGE
El Salto is an artificial dam for hydroelectric use, located in a peripheral zone of protected area of the Natural Park of the Sierra and the Canyons of Guara. It is only 40 km from Huesca capital.

Admission is 3 euros, except for children up to 6 years, who enter for free. The council is creating a website to make a reservation and to consult the capacity of the day.
POZO PÍGALO IN LUESIA
Bathing in the clean waters of the Arba and in the shade of a large pine forest. Sounds good? You’re thinking of Pozo Pígalo in Luesia, Cinco Villas.
During the summer months parking is regulated and there is a parking fee. In the area there is a picnic and parking area.
SALINAS DE NAVAL
From June 17 to September 15 from 11:00 to 20:00 hours you can enjoy the sun and tranquility while you float without the slightest effort in the salt flats of Naval thanks to its salinity.
The installations of the Salinar de Naval have 5 saltwater pools surrounded by comfortable hammocks and tents.
Dare to dive into the Dead Sea of Somontano. Thanks to the high saline concentration of its waters, you can experience the sensation of floating while you benefit from its relaxing and therapeutic properties.
CANANILLAS IN AGUAVIVA
The valley of the Bergantes river offers abundant and beautiful natural spaces, because the river’s torrential nature, with strong low water and irregular flow, has carved spectacular marmitas, caves and pools, as well as generating spectacular natural beaches. Its magnificent pools are a common place to cool off in the summer, there is also the ‘ Cananillas’ bathing area, recognized together with Beceite for the state of conservation and quality of its waters.
POZO DE LOS CHORROS IN BELCHITE
Halfway between Belchite and Almonacid de la Cuba we find this singular place ideal for bathing in summer. Between the rocks, the river makes its way leaving a number of pools that are followed by a small waterfall that ends in the Pozo de los Chorros.
This natural pool impresses because it is completely surrounded by rocks, with two imposing vertical side walls, that contrast surprisingly with the nearby flat environment.
