Heritage and culture
Monuments, corners and traditions to fall in love with
In Alto Gállego there are many Romanesque churches and hermitages in an excellent state of preservation and of great patrimonial and artistic value.
The Alto Gállego region preserves a popular and religious architecture of high heritage value, in a multitude of Mozarabic style churches that constitute the "Route of Serrablo".
In the municipality of Biescas the greatest concentration of this type of churches is preserved and some of the best examples are: San Martín de Oliván, Santa Eulalia de Orós Bajo, Santa Eulalia de Susín, San Juan de Busa and the hermitage of San Juan de Espierre.
In the beautiful villages of the region we will find typical stone houses, where the chimneys with "espantabrujas or capiscol", constitute an incomparable landscape.
Museums such as the Drawing Museum of Larrés Castle or the Museum of Popular Arts of Serrablo, house the current and traditional art respectively.
The Way of St. James in its passage through the Alto Gállego allows to know the Valley of Tena in depth since it crosses it from north to south: starting from Portalet or Peiralún, continuing through Sallent (Socotor hospital) and Lanuza, then going around the Escarrilla strait until reaching El Pueyo and, later, crossing the river where the waters of the Búbal reservoir are found today to continue to Polituara. Very close to Sabiñánigo, the road turns off towards Jaca.
