Aquatic hike and swim canyon

Access: machine translated ➜

From Barbastro on the N-123, in the direction of Benabarre, Graus. We pass through the narrows (Congosto) of the Rio Èsera. After 20.9 km from Barbastro - T - intersection N-340/N-123 in the south of the city - we turn north on the A-139, direction Graus. We drive along the western shore of the reservoir and arrive in Graus. A little after the center of the town (8.9 km after turning off the N-123) we turn right onto the A-1605 in the direction of Bonansa. After 40.4 km (from Graus - junction of the A-1605 from the A-139) we see the churches of Sant Pau and Santa Maria de Obarra (l'Ermita de Obarra) on the right, beyond the Rio Isabena. Here we park our first car on the shoulder to the right of the road.\n\nWith the second car we continue north on the A-1605, passing 6 tunnels and park our second car after 1.2 km and the 6th and last tunnel.
