Village · Vall de Cardós, Pallars Sobirà, Lleida

Vall de Cardós is a municipality in the Pallars Sobirà, with 388 inhabitants (INE 2025), formed in the early 1970s by the merger of the former municipalities of Estaon and Ribera de Cardós, whose town today serves as the municipal seat and preserves the boundary cross. It groups together the villages of Ainet de Cardós, Anàs, Bonestarre, Cassibrós, Estaon, Lladrós, Ribera de Cardós and Surri, spread across the valley it takes its name from, with access from Llavorsí. In Ribera de Cardós stands the Romanesque church of Santa María; in Lladrós, the church of Sant Pere, with a Baroque altarpiece, and a medieval bridge, joined by another medieval bridge in Cassibrós. In Tavascan there is a hydroelectric power plant. Its economy combines agriculture and livestock farming with tourism.
