The Puerto de Palo is a pass in the Pyrenees that was already used in Roman times. The Roman road connected Caesaraugusta (now Saragossa ) with Benearnum (now Lescar ).
The pass lies at an altitude of 1,942 meters and is surrounded by the mountain peaks Cotdoquy (2,019 m) and Pic de Burq (2,105 m).
Today's footpath connects the Val de Labrénère in Béarn with the Valle de Hecho in Aragon . The remains of the Roman road that was built under Antoninus Pius are still accessible in the Selva de Oza forest .
