his pilot project is carried
out within the municipality
of Pueyo de Araguas, in
the region of Sobrarbe,
located on the southern
face of the Peña
Montañesa massif.
This medium-sized municipality
with a surface area of 60
km² and a small population
of about 180 people distributed
into eleven small centres,
is a significant sample
of the characteristics of
the environment in the Aragonese
Pyrenees and of its potentialities
to reach sustainable development
and closely linked to its
own duration.
Like
many others, this municipality
has been subject to a strong isolation
due to its geographical characteristics,
and it has suffered an important
population loss over the last
three decades.
