  • Somontano De Barbastro. La Personalidad De La Sierra De Guara
    Somontano de Barbastro La personalidad de la sierra de Guara Aragón Modesto Pascau Canales Gerente de prames La comarca del Somontano de Barbastro se sitúa en la mitad oriental de la provincia de Huesca. Son tierras domi- nadas por el perfi l abrupto de la sierra de Guara, al norte, un territorio intrincado y emocionante. Desde estas es- tribaciones prepirenaicas surge hacia el sur un piedemon- te alomado, que comunica la montaña con los llanos de la depresión del Ebro y que es, propiamente, un somontano. Este es un paisaje suave en el que se suceden carrascales –nombre que habitualmente se emplea en Aragón para re- ferirse a los encinares–, campos de cereal, huertas y viñedos, salpicado de pueblos y de una ciudad con solera, Barbastro. La capital vive un constante trasiego comercial y es uno de los referentes de la cultura aragonesa, con eventos a lo largo de todo el año. Sede del obispado de Barbastro-Monzón, la catedral de Santa María de la Asunción es un magnífi co edi- fi cio del siglo xvi, cuya visita ha de completarse con la del museo diocesano. — 72 — Caminos Naturales de España La importancia paisajística, geológica y medioambiental de Nació con los objetivos de añadir más reclamos turísticos a la la parte más montañosa es tal que goza desde 1990 de la pro- comarca y de favorecer la conservación de los espacios natu- tección del Parque Natural de la Sierra y Cañones de Gua- rales y del legado cultural que en ellos pervive. En su diseño ra. Son cimas dominadas por el tozal de Guara (2.077 m) y hay tres etapas claramente señaladas que suman un total de ríos que han tallado gargantas espectaculares, como las del Vero, 55 kilómetros, entre Alquézar y el Salto de Bierge.
