Small stone villages in the sunny sides of the mountains boast impressive romanesque churches from the Middle Ages. Most of them are classified as UNESCO world heritage and are a real must-visit during your holidays. Part of the valleys belong to “Aigües Tortes” National Park, one of the best preserved and biggest national park in the Pyrenees. The park and the whole area are famous for their dramatic mountain landscapes.
