Gabarret: Churches, Peaks and Trails

Culture

The Sagrario de Gabarret is made of gilded wood both inside and out. It comes from Gabarret (Bonansa) and dates from the 18th century. The parish church of Gabarret is dedicated to Saint Peter. Thus, in Gabarret, an artistically crafted sacred object and a church dedicated to Saint Peter come together.

The Sagrario was one of 111 ecclesiastical properties that Aragón demanded back from the Diocese of Lérida and received back in March 2021. Today, it is kept at the Diocesan Museum of Barbastro-Monzón. The material, origin, dating and present-day storage connect the object with the history of ecclesiastical collections. The parish church adds another sacred site in Gabarret to this cultural context.

Geographical Location

Gabarret lies at 1,275 metres above sea level. The surroundings of Gabarret include the Fallada de Malpás mountain, the Amariedo peak, the Tossal Gros peak and the el Corronco peak. The four named elevations form a specific sequence of named landscape features around the village.

The Pilaret de Sant Urbà church, the Esglesia de Sant Climent church and the Esglesia de Sant Esteve de Ginast church are also located in the surrounding area. In addition to the elevation and the mountain names, three churches are therefore part of the geographical description of the nearby surroundings.

Other Places

Other places in the same regional context are Ballobar, Chibluco, Torres de Barbués, Torres De Alcanadre, Camporrotuno, Ansó, Tardienta and Estada. These places provide a further regional frame of reference without equating Gabarret with them. The different place names broaden the view beyond the immediate village, while Gabarret remains the point of reference.

Routes and Trails

Cycle route 1 runs from Seira via Estés, Bonansa, Cirés and Gabarret to Pont de Suert. Gabarret is an uninhabited village through which the El Pont de Suert–Gabarret–Espollà route passes. Both routes mention Gabarret, but differ in their starting and destination points as well as in the sequence of the places named.

Gabarret is one of the places along the 9-kilometre GR15 stage. A path branches off from the GR15 and climbs towards Gabarret. Thus, the routes described comprise a cycle route, a route through an uninhabited village and an explicitly named nine-kilometre GR15 section.

Cycle route 1 is characterised by its sequence of Seira, Estés, Bonansa, Cirés, Gabarret and Pont de Suert. The El Pont de Suert–Gabarret–Espollà route names a different sequence of places. The two routes name different sequences of places.
