Biescas is a town with a strategic location, serving as the natural access point to the Tena Valley and France to the north, and to the Monte Perdido and Ordesa National Park to the east.
The Gallego River runs through the town, dividing it into two sections with two separate churches.
If you enjoy hiking, there are plenty of nearby villages, Romanesque churches, and fortresses to explore in the local area. As the main centre for the Tena Valley you’ll find all kinds of mountain activities and in the nearby ski-resorts of Panticosa and Formigal, take the ski-lifts, which operate in summer as well as winter, straight up into the high mountains!
