« “Charming old town (…) deliciously located in a deep triangular valley. Three large shafts of sunlight stream through between natural gaps in the three mountains. When Spanish guerrillas and smugglers arrived from Aragon via the Breche de Roland gap, they suddenly saw a great shaft of light at the end of the dark gorge, like opening the door out of a dark cellar. They pushed on and found a large lively town bathed in sunshine. This village, they named it Light, Luz “. ». Victor Hugo.
