Church of Saint Peter in Jou

Highlight • Religious Site

Jou, town of the municipal term of Guingueta de Aneu in the Pallars Sobirá.

In the town is the Church of Sant Pere de Jou. Very pretty both day and night. Accompanied by the stone houses with the typical slate roofs that give us the feeling of already being in a mountain place.

Gerdar Forest

Highlight • Forest

The Gerdar forest is located in the Pallarés valley. Legend has it that it is enchanted and its inhabitants are elves called "minairons" who live in the hollows of the trunks. It is said that if they appear on your way they will tell you "que parlem que farem" (which means "let's talk about what we'll do") and that you have to give them a task if you don't want them to bother you during the tour.

The forest is very beautiful and easy to walk. End at the Gerber viewpoint from where you can see the impressive Collimar waterfall.
