A very enjoyable climb. No steep inclines, a narrow but well-maintained road. The finish at the foot of Peña Montañesa has its charm.

In the upper part of the town is the parish church, of Romanesque origin, from the 12th century, reformed between the 16th and 18th centuries. The head, oriented to the east, is rectangular, probably from the 18th century when it had to replace the primitive semicircular apse, of which three arcuations are preserved inside the bell tower. There are five chapels, four of them covered with a barrel vault, except one of them, with a lunette vault cover. In one of them there is a baptismal font. Between two of these spaces you can see the old access to the bell tower, whose current access is only external. The tower, much reformed, maintains the tile roof and a last section with a semicircular window on each side and a skylight and small bell. A reform has cleaned the walls, leaving the stone exposed. The cemetery extends to the east and north, and is accessible by a door to the south-east of the church and also by stairs to the north-west.

The Ésera, which is born in the Maladeta massif and is largely fed by the Aneto glacier, runs for about 95 kilometers to its mouth in the Cinca river. At this point is also the Seira hydroelectric power station, which was built in the first half of the 20th century and is still operational today.

Although perhaps the most notable is its Romanesque parish church, expanded in the 16th century, the entire town is worth a walk through its steep streets flanked by houses with thick stone walls and slate roofs.
