Aragon in English

Data from the county.

The Sobrarbe is the most unknown and least documented territory of the three counties that formed Aragón. History has contributed to the isolation of the region since no road Roman was crossing the Pyrenean valleys of Sobrarbe, nor is it known that Muslims tried to cross it. Only the Zinca river allowed a communication access to Boltaña and L'Ainsa.

On its northern border, communications are very complicated. The massifs Tres Sorores, Mon Perdiu, Comachibosa, Posets-Llardana, the interior mountain ranges of Tendereña, Costiel or Ordesa make communication routes difficult.

The redolada (district) of Sobrarbe is located north of the province of Uesca. It coincides with the basins of Ara and l'alto Zinca. Its limits are: to the north France, to the south the mountains of Guara, Sibil and Olson, to the east the Ribagorza and to the west the Alto Galligo.

L'Ainsa-Sobrarbe, with 1,427 inhabitants is the most populated municipality. However, there is no urban center in the whole region that exceeds one thousand inhabitants, because L'Ainsa-Sobrarbe It was formed by the grouping of several municipal terms and covers sixteen villages. Boltaña and L'Ainsa are the nuclei of the county seat.

In this region there are two mancomunidades: the most important is that of Sobrarbe that groups 19 municipalities. Chisten, Plan, San Chuan de Plan and Tella-Sin form the commonwealth of Bal de Chistau.

Note: the description text of the region has been extracted from the magazine "L'Ausin".
