Campo, Spain
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Campo is a town in the county of Ribagorza, in the province of Huesca (province), in Aragon, Spain. Situated in a valley between 2 rivers, the Esera and Rialbo, it is surrounded by snow-capped Pyrenean mountain peaks: most notably, the Turbón (2.492 m) and Cotiella (2.912 m).
The town's municipal district includes the hamlet of Beleder, locally known as Belbedé, 2 km north of Campo.
Due to the landlock created by the mountains, the locals continue to speak the centuries old "Patues", colloquially known as "Fabla", their dialect of Aragonese, a language within Spain.
It is also the birthplace of Gaspar Torrente, (1888-1970), one of the early 20th Century leaders and a founding father of the socialist Aragonese political movement for regional autonomy. See Aragonese Council.
