    What to expect

    From Aínsa we travel to Jánovas, an abandoned town with its 13th century church -and its façade, moved to the neighboring town of Fiscal- but it is worth visiting because its interior still preserves its original paintings, something common in its time. We follow the route through different towns -it is worth stopping in Broto and approaching the Sorrosal waterfall, it is 5'- and at the gates of Torla and the Ordesa National Park, we take the Cotefablo road, to contemplate the church of Linás de Broto , then we go to San Bartolomé, near Biescas, San Juan de Busa and San Pedro de Lárrede. To contemplate a church built by Syrians in 1050-1060 (very close to Jaca) San Juan, 10' away was built in 1060 -apparently much simpler- on top of which, we can see this phrase carved in stone: "There is no more God than Allah." In Arabic! We return through Yebra de Basa, to Fiscal, where we take a walk to see the portal of the Jánovas church and return to Ainsa.
