Santa Cilia Lodge
INTIMATE ATMOSPHERE IN HEART OF THE PYRENEES
Ideally located on the banks of the Aragón River, this stone building sitting on a tiny village by the Way of Saint James, is flooded with history. Since its beginning, it served as a meeting point for merchants, pilgrims, San Juan de la Peña monks, winemakers, and all those who followed the course of the Pyrenees’s waters to the Mediterranean Sea. The Lodge was renovated in 2016; becoming a cozy, comfortable, fully equipped fly-fishing lodge for exclusive use by anglers and their companions traveling with Salvelinus.
Getting here
Best International Airport is Barcelona: it is three and a half hour chauffeured drive to the lodge by Salvelinus.
