GUARA RURAL

GUARA RURAL HISTORY OF OUR PEOPLE

At the foot of the slopes of the southern point of the Sierra de Arangol, at an altitude of 668 meters, under the ridges of Guara, Vallemona and Tozal de Cubilas and near the confluence of Barranco de la Tos with the Formiga river, GUARA RURAL (Bastarás ) today offers its hamlet, its unique and steep street, its houses of traditional stone construction.
The hidden ruins of the castle remain from its past among the vegetation that invades the tozalón of the Faja de Cotón or the Marmañana hill, next to the old road that leads to Labata, against whose Muslim defenders it must have risen, in the years 1060, This lonely fortress, which once the Villa was conquered, must have lost all its purpose; It consisted, as can be seen, of a rectangular tower and a walled enclosure with a cistern. In 1097, Pedro, bishop of Huesca, donated the church of Bastarás to the Monastery of San Ponce de Tomeras, together with those of Labatella, Morrano, Eso and Panzano; later this temple passed to San Pedro el Viejo and later to the Order of Hospital or of San Juan de Jerusalem. According to Pascual Madoz, in 1850, Bastarás had two lathes or oil mills and a fountain, with whose waters the neighbors used to drink and irrigate some immediate gardens; meeting 1/4 of an hour "with its large roof and three entrances; the rocks in which its depth ends have the shape of an ox and they call it with this name; they also offer an admirable view due to the diversity of figures they naturally have; The same is observed in the named hole of Solencio of an incalculable extension, whose concavities are filled with water that give off, with a great noise, for 20 or 24 hours, and then withdraw producing in its retreat a murmur so great that it resembles the bellowing of a bull. The land is broken and of medium quality, it has abundant firewood and some grass; the Hormiga river runs through it, which forms in a place called the Bastarás springs and comes from the Solencio hole " .
There is in the vicinity of GUARA RURAL (Bastarás) a mythical and legendary world, of enormous chasms that enclose countless subterranean beauties: Solencio, La Grallera, -this of 277 meters in absolute verticality-, which form a set of deep, dark abysses galleries, narrow tunnels, thick formations of stalagmites and stalactites, hidden beauties formed by water, surprising and unknown corners, to which are added fantastic tales of witchcraft covens.
Its church, at the top of the urban area, built in the 12th century, with reforms in the 18th century, dedicated to San Clemente, has a single nave, in its first three sections with a vault of lunettes and the fourth barrel pointing and apse Romanesque. It has two side chapels, a main altar with a baroque altarpiece dating from that century, a choir at the feet, a belfry with a bell, a doorway with three semicircular archivolts with checkered decoration and a portico. There are two houses with interesting elements: one from the 16th century, with the Arms of the Bescós, with an entrance door under a pointed arch and a window framed by gothic decoration, sunbathing and a cobbled patio with boulders; another with the Arms of the Goatherds on the façade, with a four-sided roof and a voluminous cylindrical chimney. At the top of the mountain is the ruinous Hermitage of the Virgen de la Sierra.
