Lafortunada is today the main village of the Tella-Sin municipality.
The two great long-distance hiking routes that cross Sobrarbe — the GR-15 and GR-19 — both pass through this village, which is crossed by the A-138 road and grew at the beginning of the 20th century following the construction of the hydroelectric power station that still operates today.
On a hill beneath the slopes of Punta Llerga lies Badaín, a small village with beautiful examples of traditional Pyrenean architecture. Among them stands the Church of Santa María, built in the 16th century atop an earlier Romanesque structure.
El Churro de Fornos The Cotiella massif rises like an almost impregnable fortress from every side. A handful of deep gorges — such as the Irúes River canyon — provide access into its interior while also revealing the complexity of its geological structure. This beautiful walking route leads to the remarkable Fuente de Fornos, where several powerful springs emerge directly from the rock year-round to feed the Irúes River. It’s a reminder that beyond its dramatic cliffs and summits, the Cotiella massif also hides a fascinating underground world. You can learn more about the area’s geology through the self-guided Geoparque Sobrarbe-Pirineos.
