The calcareous mass of Foratata sometimes looks like a mountain in human form. His protective position over Sallent de Gállego is so real and notorious that one can imagine hundreds of legends about his magical influence.

to the south are the calm waters of the Lanuza reservoir. The proximity to the thriving ski resort of ARAMÓN Formigal, makes this town an ideal place to stay in the winter and summer months.
