Field is located in RibagorzaIt has become an emblematic locality thanks to its ability to offer a little of every quality of the whole Benasque Valley area. It is located between two rivers, the Esera and the Rialbo.

It is very special that the inhabitants of this village still maintain many of the same traditions that have accompanied them throughout their history. The beautiful pieces of crafts and ancient Aragonese as a language are some of them.

Several old games are also maintained, such as the so-called "birlas game", which has even led to the opening of a Museum of Traditional Games. You might wonder how such a small town has managed to preserve so well all aspects of the past generations and their culture. The truth is that it would not have been possible without the action of personalities such as Gaspar Torrente, who was one of the greatest leaders of all nationalism in Aragon.

The town is really close to Benasque and its valley, so its attractions and the surrounding area have caused an avalanche of tourists in recent years. If you want to visit Campo, it is highly recommended that you go in mid-August, as you will be able to enjoy its fiestas.
