The Cubera bridge, also known as the stone bridge, crosses the Ésera river, in the Benasque valley. This stone bridge, of probable Romanesque origin, is built with masonry rigs of irregular shapes. It has only one eye, with a semicircular arch, and its profile is that of an irregular donkey's back, since one slope is longer than the other. The bridge road is made of ashlar, including some small sidings.

Castejón de Sos is a fairly large Ribagorza municipality, compared to the small population centers that exist in the surroundings. It has hotels, supermarkets, restaurants and a pharmacy. It is very close to the Ventamillo Gorge, an imposing canyon crossed by the Ésera River.
