El Privilegio de Tena stands very close to the Formigal ski lodge and the French border. Opened in 2003, this large house of rock, wood and slate (whose origins date back to the end of the 15th century) sheltered a former abbey in the past. The 1,224 metres of altitude provide breathtaking views over the Tena Valley and—during the winter—the snow-covered mountains of Peña Telera and Peña Blanco, with the Búbal reservoir just below. Luis Serrano was charged with expanding the installations by adding on a new building that is characterised by the balance of interior space and aesthetic lighting along with its avant-garde decoration. The building has three floors.

This beautiful Pyrenean town in Aragon is located at an altitude of 1,224 metres, hidden among small hills of pine forests, oak groves and meadows in the Alto Gállego region within the Sallent de Gállego municipality. The landscape marked out from the Cabezo de Santa Marina is one of a kind.

On the horizon are the proud and noble Peña Telera and Peña Blanca mountains, and at their base is the Búbal reservoir. Incredible beauty can be found among its noble manors, walls, balconies and windows. It has a small Romanesque church from 12th century with an excellent Renaissance altarpiece from the 16th century dedicated to St. Martin. Also worth mentioning are the traditional celebrations that have been preserved throughout the years, such as the ronda which goes through all the houses in the town as boys dance the typical paloteo and people toast each other with funny poems over tasty plates of ham and glasses of local wine. In the immediate surroundings, it is possible to do some downhill skiing at La Partacua ski station, which is also the starting point for the annual Pirena dogsled race. From the town, it is possible to go on many hikes like the Ibón de Tramacastilla, as well as walks in the Betato Woods nearby.
