Benasque

Located at 1,138 meters elevation in the Huesca Province, Benasque stands in a valley surrounded by Pyrenees peaks, including the Aneto mountain.

The Palace of the Counts of Ribagorza, built in Renaissance style, served multiple purposes throughout centuries, including military operations during the Spanish Civil War.

The local dialect patués combines elements of Aragonese, Catalan, and Gascon languages, preserved through annual writing competitions established in 1999.

Benasque connects to major cities through regular bus services from Huesca, with travel times of 141 kilometers taking approximately two hours and eight minutes.

The Forau de Aigualluts presents a natural phenomenon where waters from the Aneto glacier disappear into a karstic well, feeding the Garonne River.
