Surrounding area

The Hostal Rural Ioar is surrounded by some awesome spots to walk to, whilst giving free reign to your imagination. Experience moments of peace and tranquillity, enjoying a SUNSET across the immense natural solarium of St Gregorio Ostiense and its spectacular, primitive landscape interspersed with monoliths created by a blind, giant sculptor ... nature itself.

This strategic spot is the great balcony of the Ebro valley.

Within a 5 minute radius by car, guests can enjoy the municipal swimming pool of Mues, the sports centre and municipal pool of Murieta or the municipal pool of Los Arcos.

Nature

In these clock-watching, mortgage-worrying times, enjoy a relaxing stay and feel the connection with nature in order to refocus on the essentials in life and recover a part of you that has been lost.

In this respect we are in a privileged position, surrounded by holm oak and pine woods, and centuries old olive fields.

Just 3 minutes away by car you can visit what is considered to be one of the oldest trees in the whole of Spain, the millenarian "three footed" holm oak at Mendaza. Declared to be the oldest living tree in 2007 by the Directorate General of Biodiversity and the Association of Woods without Frontiers.

Way of St James

We are located right on the Way of St James, at just 5 minutes from the end of stage at Los Arcos. The Hostal Rural Ioar pays homage to the Way and supports Pilgrims, by offering a pick-up service to take pilgrims from Los Arcos to Sorlada.

Travelling is the best way of getting to know ourselves and others. So let's start the journey to the stars by following the Milky Way, as the Way of St James is so often called.
