Villanovilla

Villanovilla is a Spanish settlement belonging to the municipality of Jaca, in the Jacetania, province of Huesca, Aragon.

Geography

Villanovilla is located in the lower part of the valley of the Ijuez river, a tributary of the Aragon river, in the Garcipollera.

History

Unlike other towns in the valley, its urban center was reserved in property by its residents, when the State Forestry Patrimony acquired the land in the valley for reforestation. After years of depopulation, Villanovilla managed to save itself from abandonment, thanks to the rehabilitation of its houses.
