Tips from the Community
Burgui is the starting point in the lower or southern part of the Roncal Valley, which ends in Belagua, at the foot of the Piedra de San Martín. It is a very pretty and peaceful village, with all kinds of services for staying for a few days and using it as a starting point for the various cycling excursions in the area. It is also highly recommended to reach Burgui via the road from Salvatierra de Esca, following the course of the Esca River through the Esca Gorge.

The hermitage has its origins in the conflicts between Aragonese and Navarrese shepherds, which led to deaths. Faced with this situation, the church wanted to bring peace, and so promoted the Brotherhood of the Virgin of the Rock, which was founded in 1521; originally this brotherhood admitted 20 members from Salvatierra and 10 from Burgui. [2] In 1628 another group of residents of the two towns emerged, who focused their devotion on Saint Joseph; the first brotherhood declined in the 20th century, becoming extinct in 1950, being replaced by that of Saint Joseph, which admits up to 30 members, and is governed by a prior, rotating by seniority.

Escó or Esco is located to the north of the province of Zaragoza and it was in 1960 that most of the area was expropriated (together with those of Ruesta and Tiermas) for the construction of the Yesa reservoir, with which the town began its decline to abandonment. Now it gives us impressive views of the reservoir between the old and dilapidated houses.

Impressive views that we have of the curious municipality of Berdún located on top of a hill, standing out over the Valley of the Aragón River.

A picturesque village located on the banks of the Ezka River and at the gateway to the Foz de Burgui Nature Reserve, a wonderful place that can be crossed by driving along the road parallel to the river.

This place is not to be confused with the one of the same name on the Camino Jacobeo

If you are doing the Aragonese Way and take the detour to this municipality, you will soon understand where the name comes from. Puente la Reina de Jaca has been an important crossroads for centuries and a crossing point on the Camino de Santiago since medieval times. While only a few ruins of the old bridge remain, a new one was built in the 20th century. The municipality has all kinds of services.
