Overview

We propose a family and safe experience of guided slow driving -in our cars- along the roads of the Aragonese Pyrenees, with stops to contemplate each and every one of the treasures found here.

We will show you what all the Romanesque churches were like inside (Jánovas) How much diversity (stonemasons, master builders) and wealth in some apparently dark years or the commercial networks with the Arab cities, in addition to minarets, 30 kilometres from France, built by Syrians (Lárrede)

But not only that, it is also the background, the framework on which these towns and their churches are based. We will interpret the landscape, we will teach you about the flora and fauna and how it changes as we travel.

Activity itinerary

From Aínsa we travel to Jánovas, an abandoned town with its 13th century church -and its façade, moved to the neighbouring town of Fiscal- but it is worth visiting because its interior still preserves its original paintings, something common in its time. We follow the route through different towns -it is worth stopping in Broto and approaching the Sorrosal waterfall, it is 5'- and at the gates of Torla and the Ordesa National Park, we take the Cotefablo road, to contemplate the church of Linás de Broto , then we go to San Bartolomé, near Biescas, San Juan de Busa and San Pedro de Lárrede. To contemplate a church built by Syrians in 1050-1060 (very close to Jaca) San Juan, 10' away was built in 1060 -apparently much simpler- on top of which, we can see this phrase carved in stone: "There is no more God than Allah." In Arabic! We return through Yebra de Basa, to Fiscal, where we take a walk to see the portal of the Jánovas church and return to Ainsa.
