What to see and do in Borau

Borau
Village
Borau is a municipality in the comarca of La Jacetania (Huesca), situated in the Aragón valley near Jaca, with access to the Garcipollera valley. In the past it was a notable trading and financial centre of the area, a condition reflected today in its cobbled streets and its whitewashed or stone houses, many restored, typical of the Pyrenees. It is crossed by the Lubierre river, a tributary of the Aragón, and its municipal area extends into the Parque Natural de los Valles Occidentales. It stands at 1008 metres of altitude; at the entrance to the village is the building of the old schools, from 1928, and above it the 16th-century parish church. Among its monuments, the Casa Regino and the hermitage of the Pilar, with its baroque altarpiece, stand out. It has 77 inhabitants (INE 2025).
La Garcipollera
Nature
La Garcipollera is a Pyrenean valley in the Huesca Jacetania which, in the Middle Ages, gave its name to a lordship formed in 1332 from the old feudal domains of Acín, Larrosa and Iguácel, when they were united under a single lord; the property was later divided through inheritance and reunified again in 1494. The valley, of great natural value, is usually explored from Castiello de Jaca.
