The Valls d’Àneu - Catalan Pyrenees (Spain)
The Valls d'Àneu, located north of Pallars Sobirà , are almost an extension of the Aranese lands, after passing through the natural obstacles of the Bonaigua mountain pass and the foothills of the Aigüestortes and San Maurici National Park.
We are located within the Alt Pirineu Natural Park, embellishing our own landscapes of the Catalan Pyrenees. The continuity of the landscape and its Pyrenean character make these valleys a special place to discover on foot or by other means.
Park Nacional d’Aigüestortes and Estany de St. Maurici
This is the only national park in Catalonia. The high-mountain landscape has an impressive relief and a wealth of flora and fauna. The main feature of the area is water, with close to 200 lakes and countless streams.

Interpretation Centers and Ecomuseum of the Valls d'Àneu
The interpretation centers of the Valls d’Àneu Valleys lead to a better understanding of our location. The Ecomuseu, in Esterri d’Àneu, collects all the history of the territory and radial of the Valleys.
The Romanesque in the Valls d’Àneu
In this historical and natural context, the Valls d’Àneu show us an important monumental ensemble, integrated in each town, witness of an unalterable legacy: the Romanesque.
Just like other neighboring counties, Pallars Sobirà preserves the Romanesque footprint in its churches and monasteries, which are still alive thanks to the prevailing poverty of its moment; exempt from any evolution in the architectural style and leaving clear samples from the south to the skirt of the Aran valley.
Celebrations, fairs and shops of special interest
We find a whole variety of celebrations deeply rooted in the traditional and popular culture of the Valls d’Àneu. The Carnival and the Calderada, the procession of the Jews for Easter, the Easter Caramelles, the gathering of Santa Maria the first of May, the “Neighbors” of Esterri d’Àneu, the Falles d’Isil (declared Traditional Fiesta of National Interest in Catalonia), the Teatre festival “Esbaiola’t” and the Cattle Fair of Sta. Teresa offers a broad framework of aneencan culture.
