Huesca La Magia in Spain Wins the Title of "Europe's Premier Adventure Tourism Destination for 2023"

The Spanish locale of Huesca La Magia clinched the coveted title of "Europe's Best Adventure Tourism Destination 2023" in a resounding victory at the prestigious World Travel Awards.

This remarkable achievement, akin to winning the Oscars of the tourism world, unfolded in Batumi, Georgia, on Friday, September 29, 2023.

The 30th edition of the World Travel Awards drew a formidable array of contenders, hailing from Europe's most awe-inspiring locations. These included Austria, the Azores Islands, England, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, the Madeira Islands, Norway, Portugal, Scotland, Spain, and Wales. Notably, the Azores Islands had maintained a stronghold on this accolade for the past three years.

In a dazzling gala ceremony, the award was graciously accepted by Isaac Claver, the President of the Huesca Provincial Council. Claver regards this triumph as a momentous milestone, a source of immense pride for Huesca. He underscores the far-reaching benefits of this accolade, as it shines a global spotlight on the 300-plus enterprises and independent professionals entrenched in the realm of adventure tourism in Huesca.

"Thanks to this World Travel Awards, we position ourselves and are recognized internationally as the great tourist destination that we are, and we show the world the richness of our land," affirmed Isaac Claver, President of the Huesca Provincial Council.

The victory of Huesca La Magia bears testimony to its singular allure as a tourist haven. Nestled within this province are some of the most awe-inspiring creations of Mother Nature. To the north, the Pyrenees mountains form a breathtaking backdrop, drawing in both winter sports enthusiasts and summer trekkers, rendering it a perfect locale for skiing during the winter months and hiking during the warmer seasons.

Among the region's crown jewels lies the Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that enchants visitors with its breathtaking vistas.

While Huesca is renowned for its picturesque landscapes, it also beckons adventure aficionados with open arms. Besides hiking, a plethora of exhilarating activities beckon tourists, especially those with a penchant for aquatic pursuits such as kayaking, rafting, and hydrospeed, offered notably at locales like the Mediano reservoir and the Congost de Mont-rebei.

What truly sets Huesca apart is its well-deserved reputation as Europe's preeminent destination for canyoning—a heart-pounding endeavor that captures the imaginations of both tourists and locals alike. Here, participants dare to conquer rugged canyons, cementing its status as a dream destination for thrill-seekers.

While a nominee in two distinct categories, Huesca La Magia emerged victorious as "Europe's Leading Adventure Tourism Destination 2023," though the title of "Europe's Leading Emerging Tourism Destination 2023" eluded its grasp.
