Panzano

Panzano is a nucleus of Casbas de Huesca in the Hoya de Huesca district. It is probably fastest to approach Panzano from one of the main roads, the N-240, or the A-22, between Huesca and Barbastro. On the A-22 take exit 89 where the HU-V-3311 with Liesa is shown. You will land on the roundabout on the N-240 from where you must follow the signs towards Liesa, then Ibieca, Aguas (you are now on the A-1227) and finally Panzano. Take the branch into the village and you will soon arrive at the Parque público, which is the former mill pond.
