Tips from the Community
You may not see this bridge if you pass quickly and are not paying attention. In addition to its beauty, it is also interesting for its location, since it is located next to the mouth of the Isábena river with the Ésera river.

It is a beautiful town that can be easily reached by pedaling from Secastilla. There are many tracks in the area, which also connect with the reservoir, although if you have to return, make sure to save your strength, since you will have to climb back up. In addition to walking through its quiet streets and discovering corners such as its oil mill, we recommend that you visit the Roman site of Labitolosa (next to the town) and the incredible hermitage of San Román, located in a location that will not leave you indifferent.

This beautiful municipality of Huesca is located right on the border between Sobrarbe and Ribagorza. You can get there along its quiet and comfortable road that also offers beautiful views since it is completely surrounded by vineyards. In the town you can refill water if you need it, since there is a fountain.

The historic center of Graus is a jewel of traditional architecture. Not in vain has it been declared a set of artistic-historical interest for its main square, arcades, cobbled streets and stately homes.

The Basilica of the Virgen de la Peña is, without a doubt, the most emblematic building in the city of Graus. As its name indicates, the basilica stands on a hill guarded by a great rock wall. The current temple was built in the 16th century, although there was already a Romanesque sanctuary before. It is well worth visiting the cloister of the basilica, from where you have fantastic views of Graus and the surroundings. In summer, classical music concerts are also held in the cloister.

Despite having such an unpretentious name as "Puente de Abajo", the truth is that this bridge is a beautiful medieval construction with three ashlar arches. It is located in the Aragonese town of Graus, on the waters of the Ésera river.
