Image of Villanova, not of the place itself.

In Villanova benasqués or patués is spoken, a variety of Aragonese transitional towards Catalan that survives only in the valley of Benasque. It is reckoned to have between one and two thousand speakers and keeps the numerals and the days of the week in Aragonese.
