Hi Rafa !
I was in my Google maps to correct a couple of things, and I thought that the name given to this region was perhaps not the most intuitive. Most of the mountains near Monte Perdido are attached to the Ordesa region, which is logic. But Bielsa is perhaps not appropriated as it suggests the whole Bielsa valley (Cinca, which means Anisclo, Escuain, Pineta...), including the hillsides of Perdido, which becommes redundant. I thought about Sobrarbe, but the problem is the same. Perhaps "Chistau-Esera" ? or eventually "Chistau-Cinca" ?
What do you think ?
Have a nice day !

I used the list of maps of 1:25.000 of sua editorial (Miguel Angulo) about the Spanish side of Pyrenees. It's very popular the name "Bielsa" for the map between Ordesa and Benasque but it's true that it's not a perfect name. The name is not very important. I think it's not necessary to change,... all the people can buy a map call Bielsa in all the spanish shops of the area. I will think about it.
You know better spanish maps than me, so you're probably right :)
Yes, difficult to find a significant name for this area. I also thought about Bachimala-Cotiella, but it doesn't sound very practical either.
Have you seen my last updates on the general map of the Pyrenees ? What about including it in the main page ?
(Yesterday I corrected a couple of things..)
..Hi there. I've done a route page for the Bielsa area if you'd like to attach it to this one? 6 Puertos. Just a bit of senderismo. Si tengas un idea por un titulo/nombre mejor.....?¿
