Geography and history

Arrés is like most villages in the valley , the Canal de Berdún is called, on a hill and is designed as a fortified village. The church is dedicated to St. Colomba.

It is first mentioned in 850 in the chronicle of the monastery of San Juan de la Peña . A document dated May 15, 1090 reports the exchange of some properties between the monastery and King Sancho Ramírez , including Arrés. It changed hands frequently. Another change is known for 1294: from Artal de Alagón it passed to King Jaime II of Aragón , at the end of the 15th century it finally belonged to the Señorío de Rueda. The never-so-large town had three households in the 16th century.

During the 1990s, volunteers rebuilt the former village school teacher's house and set up a pilgrims' hostel there. The constant flow of pilgrims since the hostel opened seems to have helped the place to revitalize itself: in the meantime, other houses have also been made habitable again.
