A lovely spot for a swim in the river. Next to the Bujaruelo refuge, accessible by car via a track. It's the starting point for several trails in the area.

An idyllic place to relax on the banks of the Ara River. To find quieter, more secluded spots, you can go upstream along either side of the river. Next to the bridge is the San Nicolás de Bujaruelo shelter and bar, with its camping and parking area.

It is located in the Bujaruelo Valley, within the Bujaruelo - Los Navarros Gorge Site of Community Importance, and borders the Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park. Next to the bridge are the remains of the San Nicolás de Bujaruelo hermitage and a camping area. It is a single-arch stone bridge. The bridge served as a crossing point for those crossing the Pyrenees in the past.
