Sobrepuerto, Natural site in Huesca Province, Spain

Located between the Gállego and Ara rivers, Sobrepuerto extends through mountainous terrain reaching elevations of 2,030 meters at Manchoya peak.

The region contained multiple villages including Basarán, Cillas, Cortillas, Escartín and Sasa until 1973 when the last residents departed due to harsh living conditions.

The region maintains traditional agricultural practices, forestry management, and livestock activities that defined mountain communities in the Spanish Pyrenees.

Access to Sobrepuerto requires hiking through forest trails from either Ara Valley or Gállego Valley, with restricted vehicle access on certain forest roads.

The area features mixed forests of pine, beech, and birch trees in shaded areas, while boxwood and thorny plants grow on sun-exposed slopes.
