Huesca information
Benasque information
The village is situated in the old Ribagorza county, formed by
the valleys that surround the Esera river. Benasque is surrounded
by the highest concentration of peaks higher than 3000 metres
in the entire Pyrenees, among which we must point out the Aneto
peak, 3404 metres high. In the nearby town of Cerler we find the
tallest ski resort of the Aragonese Pyrenees.
In Benasque we can find mansions of great interest, such as the
palace of the Count of Ribagorza, the house of Marcial del Río,
the Juste house and the Faure house, as well as the church of
Santa María la Mayor. The entire area is marked by Romanesque
buildings and cabins, typical of the Pyrenees. In its modern city
centre we find an outstanding tourist infrastructure.
In Benasque we find one of the six National Hunting Reserve of Aragon. In addition, the area enjoys a great geological diversity, with more than thirteen glaciers, ninety-five lakes, and numerous waterfalls that, along with the many plant and animal species that thrive in this place gave rise to the creation of the Posets Maladeta Nature Reserve in 1994.
