Echo, Aragón, Spain

Echo is a village in the Spanish region of Aragón. It is in the Valles de Echo y Anso in the Spanish Pyrenees and close to the "Aragón Subordán", a tributary of the Aragón river. The people in the village of Echo use a dialect of the Aragonese language called "Cheso".

The valley is surrounded by high mountains including several peaks: "Peña Forca, Agüerri, Sayéstico, Acher, Bisaurín" and "Puntal de Secús". Some distance away is the Puerto de Palo (Fr: "Col de Pau"). According to the late Professor Antonio Ubieto Arteta, the Puerto de Palo rather than Roncesvalles is the real site of the Battle of Roncevaux Pass, the battle on which the French poem Chanson de Roland is based.
