- Av. Sobrarbe, 14 - From Aínsa we travel to Jánovas, an abandoned town with its 13th century church -and its façade, moved to the neighboring town of Fiscal- but it is worth visiting because its interior still preserves its original paintings, something common in its time.
We follow the route through different towns -it is worth stopping in Broto and approaching the Sorrosal waterfall, it is 5’- and at the gates of Torla and the Ordesa National Park, we take the Cotefablo road, to contemplate the church of Linás de Broto , then we go to San Bartolomé, near Biescas, San Juan de Busa and San Pedro de Lárrede.
To contemplate a church built by Syrians in 1050-1060 (very close to Jaca) San Juan, 10’ away was built in 1060 -apparently much simpler- on top of which, we can see this phrase carved in stone: “There is no more God than Allah.” In Arabic!
We return through Yebra de Basa, to Fiscal, where we take a walk to see the portal of the Jánovas church and return to Ainsa.

We offer a secure and family-friendly guided tour at a leisurely pace in our vehicles through the scenic routes of the Aragonese Pyrenees, making stops to admire each of the breathtaking wonders located in this region.
We will give you an insight into the Romanesque churches from the inside (Jánovas), providing you with a wealth of information about their diverse architecture and craftsmanship during seemingly gloomy periods, including their trading relations with Arab cities. We will also showcase Syrian-built minarets, only 30 kilometers away from France (Lárrede).
Beyond the architectural marvels, the tour also delves into the scenery that forms the picturesque backdrop to these towns and their churches. We will help you appreciate the surrounding landscape, enlighten you about the regional flora and fauna, and explain their transformations throughout our journey.
- If you believe that the Romanesque art was built by Romans, better don’t come! :-)
