Environment
Fayón is a paradise for fishing and water sports. The history of this small border town with Catalan lands is marked by the construction of the Ribarroja reservoir, formed by the union of the Ebro and Matarraña rivers. The construction of the reservoir led to the flooding of the old Fayón in the 1960s. The town was submerged under the reservoir, except for the beautiful tower of the San Juan church, which today silently emerges from the waters. Following this event, the new Fayón was built atop a hill. Its streets, straight and long, with low houses, lead to the porticoed Main Square, with modernist airs, as does the church, with its slender concrete tower. Nearby is an incredible viewpoint where the Virgin of Pilar hermitage is located. From there, you can see the panoramic view formed by the reservoir complex, the mouth of the Matarraña River, and the mountains surrounding the basin. You can also see, atop a hill, the remains of the castle that crowned the old Fayón. But what truly defines Fayón’s tourist offer are the leisure opportunities provided by its reservoir. Its more than 210 kilometers of inland coastline and its riparian forests make Fayón a true paradise for fishing—species such as catfish, carp, and black bass abound—and the ideal setting for all kinds of water sports (canoeing, water skiing, sailing…).
