The Canfranc Valley has always been a valley of hope. The Somport pass has been one of the most important mountain passes in the Pyrenees since ancient times and these mountains with rugged and steep slopes, shaped by ice, cold and torrents, have seen centuries of stories, trade and communication pass by. And in these times of sports entertainment, self-improvement and active tourism they still continue to save the mythical medieval summus portus, the "highest port", hundreds of pilgrims hoping to faithfully follow the direction of the yellow arrow to the cobbled streets of Santiago of Compostela. La Jacetania has been a border territory in the Aragonese Pyrenees and the people of the valley towns spent their time waiting for the events that passed through the old mountain trails, war roads, grazing, hiding or smuggling, routes dyed with the color of adventure and hope.
