Hotel Las Truchas

A short walk from the park

Hotel Las Truchas is a family-run hotel that opened in 1962 on the Monasterio de Piedra road, km 27, about 500 m from the park and 1 km from Nuévalos, at an altitude of 800 metres. It has an outdoor swimming pool open in season, a restaurant, free parking and wifi. At night, far from any lights, the sky is full of stars: the hotel markets itself as a place free of light pollution.

The rooms

There are 39, all with private bathroom and free wifi. Some have air conditioning and others a fan. Cots and extra beds are available, for a supplement and subject to availability, and there is one room adapted for guests with reduced mobility. Rooms for guests travelling with a pet can only be booked by WhatsApp or email, with a supplement of €10 per animal per night.

Breakfast is included: a buffet with freshly made coffee. Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out until 12:00. The website does not publish prices: ask for them when you book.

The restaurant

Home-style traditional cooking, with family recipes since 1962: grilled mushrooms, shepherd's migas (bread, garlic, paprika, chorizo and egg), oxtail and homemade flan with hand-whipped cream. The restaurant page lists lunches from Monday to Sunday from 13:00 to 16:00 and dinners from 20:45 to 22:30, but the FAQs on the same website say it now only opens for dinner. Confirm before counting on lunch.

Facilities

As well as the pool, there is a children's pool, a playground, a chill-out terrace, a squash court and table tennis. Indoors, lounges with fireplaces, glazed lounges, games rooms with television, a library, a meeting and remote-working room and luggage storage. It has free private parking, also for coaches.

Who it is for

For families who want to walk to the park and return to the pool in the afternoon, and for groups travelling by coach. From here, the Historic Garden Park and the Cistercian monastery are a short walk away, and the La Tranquera reservoir a few minutes. The spas of Jaraba and Alhama de Aragón are about 15 km away, with the Alhama thermal lake. Calatayud and its AVE station are about 30 minutes away.
