Jaca is also an important garrison town for the Spanish army.
The Hidden Valley:
Jaca - Borau Valley - Aísa - Jasa - Aragüés A beautiful valley that is part of the most important natural reserve in the Aragonese Pyrenees. Most of the towns have a marked cattle raising tradition that has determined the local architectural style.
Borau:
A picturesque town with mountain architecture. The chapel of San Adrián de Sasabe, in the Lombard Romanesque style, is all that remains of the monastery that housed the Aragonese bishops at the time of the Arab invasion. The Holy Grail was here. Aísa A typical mountain village with impressive views over the Aspe massif. Nearby are the towns of Esposa and Sinués, famous for their typical dance with handkerchiefs, ribbons, and canes. A walk through attractive landscapes leads to other towns in the valley such as Lastiesas and Solana de Jaca.
