Graus: the southern gateway to the Pyrenees

Graus is the historic capital of the Ribagorza. Its porticoed square, castle and medieval streets are well worth a visit. And surrounding it, the Barasona Reservoir, the Ésera River and the proximity to the Pyrenees make the area an increasingly valued destination for active tourism.

It is an especially convenient destination for those coming from the south or the Mediterranean coast: the most accessible entry point to the Pyrenees, with all the nature and none of the crowds found in other areas.
