Mills in Alto Aragón

Sopeira - Alaón

Sopeira is a small village in the Ribagorza region. From Pont de Suert drive south on the main road towards Lerida. You'll drive along the lake and soon find Sopeira with its Monastery de Alaón. There is plenty of parking space at the monastery.

At the time of the pictures the stones were in front of the monastery. They have been moved since then and they are now between the walls. The coordinates reflect this.

(1) One couple of mill stones with ∅ = 130cm

(2) The runner stone with a cavity for a two-armed rynd.

(3) A third stone (∅ = 105cm) which probably is not a mill stone
but rather the base of a village cross or something.
