Discovering the Geoparks of the Sobrarbe-Pyrenees UNESCO World Geopark is much more than just walking along paths: it is reading the pages of the planet written in rock, it is understanding how this territory was born, and it is walking with the certainty that the landscape is something alive, evolving, talking and that we can listen to it if we walk carefully.

-Living geology accessible to all
Georutas:

- SORROSAL: 3 KEYS TO UNDERSTAND THE PYRENEES.
- FOVANOS VIEWPOINTS: A WINDOW TO THE EOCENE TREPIDANTE
- BRAIDED RIVERS, VISIT THE GEOPARK MUSEUM-URBAN AREA OF AÍNSA
- THE CINCA TERRACES: RIVERS IN MOVEMENT

Each georoute is a guided excursion through the geological history of the Pyrenees:

- We will observe folds, faults, strata, fossils and ancient seabeds, all visible to the naked eye.
- We will learn how the collision of tectonic plates raised these mountains, and how ice, rivers and time have sculpted the landscape.

- We will discover how that same rock has been used by humans: in architecture, roads, shelters, pastures...

- Nature, culture and science, intertwined

Georoutes allow a comprehensive approach to the territory:

- Flora adapted to the type of substrate, altitude and orientation: a vegetal landscape that also tells a story.

- Fauna that inhabits these formations, from rupicolous birds to small reptiles or mammals hidden in the rocks.

- Villages, hermitages, huts and paths that show us how human beings have lived with this geology and have known how to interpret it for centuries.

Enjoy a guided and interpreted paddle surfing activity in a unique natural environment, the Linares reservoir, with stunning views of the medieval village of Maderuelo.

During the experience, you will learn from the hand of a specialized guide to know all the parts that make up the paddle surf equipment, how to transport the material safely and the technique to enter and exit the water correctly.

Once in the water, the guide will show you step by step how to get on the board, the proper positioning of the body, paddle on your knees, stand up and keep your balance. You will also acquire basic paddling and turning techniques, with the aim of being able to stand up, paddle with ease and return to the starting point safely, always in a fun and dynamic environment.

All this takes place in an incomparable setting, with beautiful views of Maderuelo, its walls, remains of the castle, chapels, churches and other vestiges of its medieval past. During the activity you will also be able to observe birds of the area, such as the griffon vulture, which often flies over the cliffs and completes an experience that combines sport, nature and heritage.

A night sky observation experience led by an expert, certified guide who will help you understand everything that can be seen with the naked eye and through telescopes: stars, constellations, the moon, the solar system, etc.

The tour takes place outdoors at the La Dehesa de Abajo Nature Reserve or another suitable location with a clear night sky (low light pollution), equipped with the necessary conditions and materials.

Ideal for families, nature lovers, astronomy enthusiasts, and anyone with a general curiosity about the night sky.

The route takes place entirely in the Council of Laviana (protected landscape of the Cuencas Mineras), specifically between the villages of Entralgo, Villoria and Puente d'Arco, crossing the landscapes realistically described by the local writer Armando Palacio Valdés.

It is a journey in which we will approach the rural world, analyzing and interpreting with a real approach, far from bucolic, the different aspects and elements that make up this landscape: the small urban fabric of the village, how it is configured and why, the different ethnographic elements, traditional architecture, land use and exploitation, the Asturian peasantry, the management and use of the spaces surrounding the village.

In the same tour, we will analyze the historical importance of the valley as one of the main communication routes and we will have the opportunity to visit the iconic medieval bridge, recently restored, Puente d'Arcu.

The activity is complemented with a short visit to the Environmental Education Center and Güerta Escuela La Llera, where we will visit the farm for the production of apples and the traditional cider mill (still active), and of course, we will taste the homemade cider made in the same place in the old style.

If it takes place at the time of the year when this drink so closely linked to Asturies is made, usually in November, the experience will be complete, since we will have the opportunity to participate in the elaboration process.

We will become llagareros and llagareras for a day, starting with the collection and selection of the apple, followed by the crushing and pressing of the same and ending with the taste of the product made with our own hands. A total experience.
