Because
of the wide extension of the province the Huesca -15.671 Km².- we
can find a range of natural landscapes.
Within 200 Km. in length, from north to south, we go through the Pyrenean
peaks, higer than 3.000 m., to the
Pyrenean Somontano followed by the Monegros area of semi-desert
and the lowlands of the low Cinca river, that hardly reach 100 m. high.
From the Pyrenees to the plain, Huesca has a wide diversity of changing geometrical shapes, in which every season shows different colours, light and shapes and where wind, water and sun are the genuine landscape builders. From the steep topography of the Pyrenees to the calmness of the vast plains in the area of the Ebro depression, the white-water rivers that form a pool in the plain and fertilise the lowlands result in a constant dialogue between man and his environment. |
