Day 346 - 23/08/2014 : Franja - Sta Maria de Obarra

Alta Ribagorça shire is on the border with Spanish region of Aragon and we called this area surrounding the border as 'Franja' (translated to English is just border) and it could be considered part of the Catalan country because people speak Catalan and follow our culture.

Therefore it's worth it to get to know. One of the first sight crossing the border by N-260 road is Santa Maria de Obarra Romanesque monastery.. Embedded within Isabena valley, it belongs to Beranui and  it was established in the 9th century. The monastery is located in the Pre-Pyrenees at the foot of the Mountains of Sis.

What about a fall visit to admire the colorful forest?
