From the campsite, we can also reach on foot the Castro hermitage, which offers a beautiful view of the Barasona lake and the Pyrenees.
In the village of Panillo, 9 kilometres from Graus, a very curious Buddhist temple stands out, as if transported from another place in the world, to the astonishment of all. The peace and tranquility breathed in this place is a real temptation for any visitor.
