Valle de Estós, La Ribagorza, Huesca, Aragón, España.


El valle de Estós (en aragonés benasqués Vall d'Estós o Ball d'Estós) es un valle pirenaico situado en la comarca aragonesa de La Ribagorza.

Se ubica en la zona noroccidental del valle de Benasque (noreste de la provincia de Huesca) y dentro del parque natural Posets-Maladeta. Al norte de este valle, que es de origen glaciar, está el macizo del Perdiguero (3.221 m), y al sur el macizo del Posets (3.375 m). Este valle, orientado de oeste a este, tiene una longitud aproximada de 12 km y en el fondo de él transcurren las aguas del río Estós, afluente del río Ésera. Clarabides, Gías, Oô, son picos que también superan los 3.000 m y hacen frontera con Francia. La altitud del valle oscila entre los 1.400 m y los 3.375 m.

Desde el año 1994 forma parte del parque natural de Posets-Maladeta por sus importantes valores ecológicos. El paisaje predominante es el de la alta montaña pirenaica con buena representación de los pisos climáticos alpino, subalpino y montano. La flora predominante son los pastizales de montaña y los bosques, de coníferas (pino negro y abeto), de caducifolios (haya, álamo temblón, abedul, sauce, arce y avellano) y como principales arbustos el boj, enebro y rododendro. También se encuentran algunos endemismos pirenaicos. En cuanto a la fauna, encontramos a todos los animales presentes en los ecosistemasde la alta montaña pirenaica destacando una importante población de sarrios y corzos y como aves más representativas el urogallo, la perdiz nival y el quebrantahuesos.

El río Estós, al que afluyen múltiples barrancos y torrentes procedentes de los numerosos ibones (lagos de origen glaciar), de las nieves perpetuas y de algunos de los glaciares más meridionales de Europa, recorre el fondo del valle.

El valle tiene un gran atractivo turístico para los amantes de las excursiones de montaña, de la escalada, el esquí de montaña y el alpinismo. También se practica la pesca de la trucha y la caza mayor (sarrios, corzos y jabalíes). En la época veraniega sus laderas son lugar de pasto de un gran rebaño de vacas.

El acceso al valle se realiza preferentemente a pie a través de una red de senderos bien señalizados, aunque hay una pista forestal restringida al tránsito de vehículos autorizados. A lo largo del camino encontramos numerosas cabañas de pastores y un refugio de montaña guardado (1.895 m) gestionado por un guarda de la Federación Aragonesa de Montaña.

The Estós Valley (in Aragonese Benasqués Vall d'Estós or Ball d'Estós) is a Pyrenean valley located in the Aragonese region of La Ribagorza.

It is located in the northwestern area of the Benasque valley (northeast of the province of Huesca) and within the Posets-Maladeta natural park. To the north of this valley, which is of glacial origin, is the Perdiguero massif (3,221 m), and to the south the Posets massif (3,375 m). This valley, oriented from west to east, has an approximate length of 12 km and at its bottom runs the waters of the Estós river, a tributary of the Ésera river. Clarabides, Gías, Oô, are peaks that also exceed 3,000 m and border with France. The altitude of the valley ranges between 1,400 m and 3,375 m.

Since 1994 it has been part of the Posets-Maladeta natural park due to its important ecological values. The predominant landscape is that of the high Pyrenean mountains with a good representation of the alpine, subalpine and montane climatic zones. The predominant flora is mountain grasslands and forests, coniferous (black pine and spruce), deciduous (beech, aspen, birch, willow, maple and hazel) and the main shrubs are boxwood, juniper and rhododendron. Some Pyrenean endemisms are also found. As for the fauna, we find all the animals present in the ecosystems of the high Pyrenean mountains, highlighting a significant population of sarrios and roe deer, and the most representative birds are the capercaillie, the ptarmigan and the bearded vulture.

The Estós River, into which multiple ravines and torrents flow from the numerous ibones (lakes of glacial origin), the perpetual snows and some of the southernmost glaciers in Europe, runs along the bottom of the valley.

The valley has a great tourist attraction for lovers of mountain excursions, climbing, mountain skiing and mountaineering. Trout fishing and larger game (suckers, roe deer and wild boar) are also practiced. In the summer season its slopes are grazed by a large herd of cows.

Access to the valley is preferably on foot through a network of well-marked trails, although there is a forest track restricted to authorized vehicle traffic. Along the way we find numerous shepherds' huts and a guarded mountain refuge (1,895 m) managed by a ranger from the Aragonese Mountain Federation.

Strassenszene in Naval - Biliran Island

PHL, Naval, Strassenszenen im Geschäftszentrum am Markt und Hafen der beschaulichen Provinzhauptstadt der Inselgemeinde Biliran. Dort gibt es alles zu kaufen, was man für den täglichen Bedarf braucht.

Die Provinz gehört zu den ärmeren und weniger entwickelten Regionen der Philippinen. Die Menschen leben vom Fischfang und der Landwirtschaft. Die Küstendörfer in der Nähe des Pazifiks sind immer wieder Wetterextremen ausgesetzt. Taifune werden durch den Klimawandel immer stärker und unberechenbarer. Touristen haben diese wunderschöne Insel in der Samar See noch nicht so recht entdeckt. So ist Biliran für Reisende immer noch ein Geheimtipp.
