Beget

Member of Los Pueblos más Bonitos de España

Built on bare rock, the stone houses gather along the stream at the head of the Llierca valley, split into three quarters by two brooks and linked by bridges. The oldest part grew up around the church of San Cristóbal, across a bridge that probably dates from the 14th century. Home to more than a thousand people in the 1860s, Beget is now a tiny village of mostly second homes.

  • The Beget bridge, probably from the 14th century
