Coscojuela de Sobrarbe
| Coscojuela de Sobrarbe should be on any road map worth the name. The aceitero can be seen in the valley north from the village. It is only a few steps from the hill downwards. |

The mill was recently made free of shrub.
We could enter the workplace much easier than the picture suggests.
As with many olive-mills, there is a high wall on the back to accommodate de press. The front with the wooden gate is much lower. About one fourth of the roof and the back-wall must have come down quite long ago. No wonder the interior is in disorder. |

The balsa and the ruello to crush the olives
are more or less protected from the elements and still fine.
Some mats (esteras) hang on the opposite side close to the roof. The press (image top right) suffers severely under a fracture and crumpled the caracol. |

| Several parts of the machinery are marked with a date: 1884, 1910, 1932 (or 1982?). |
