The Nere river is one of the rivers that falls from the southern side of the Vall d'Aran mountains and collects the waters of the set of mountains, as is the case of Molieres. A river that enters from the south of the city and that crosses it with cold waters.

The Romanesque church of Santa Eulàlia in Erill la Vall stands out for its slender bell tower that stands six stories high dominating the valley. It was built between the 11th and 12th centuries in the distinctive Lombard Romanesque style.

This is a lovely little lake created by a dam that depending on where you are, there may be places to swim. The views around you are great.

This church is made in the iconic Romanesque style of 8 other churches in the Vall de Boi. In fact, when I think of the Vall de Boi I think of these churches.

Not much remains of Sant Cristòfol d'Erill la Vall. It is in ruins but it is still interesting to visit and the views from the area are also good.
