Es Bordes is a municipality located in the Aran Valley region, on the left side of the Garona River and in the middle of the Deth Joeu Valleys. It is made up of four towns: Es Bordes, municipal head, Benós, Begós and Arró. All of them, together with other population centers, form part of theTerçon de Lairissa.

Es Bordes is a nucleus built relatively recently. It was built by those shepherds who took their flocks to graze on the other side of the river or else had their farmland. These lands were far from their homes, in the Valle dera Artiga. In this way, the shepherds built huts to be able to spend the night there and save the way back home.

The nuclei of the municipality of Es Bordes have a wide cultural heritage, closely linked to religious life.

On the one hand, in the municipality of Es Bordes is the church of Era Mair de Diu deth Roser, dating from the 19th century and which has a curious slab where you can see a gentleman praying. On the other hand, at the end of Benós we find the Romanesque church of San Martín, which, although there are few vestiges of its beginnings, stands out the access door to the cemetery and to the parish, which is made of wrought iron, very simple but with plant decorations in The highest part. At the end of Begòs there is also the Romanesque church of San Ròc or Santa Cruz a Begòs, of which the baptismal font with its three components (vase, support and base) is still preserved. In Arró we find the Romanesque church of San Martín. Es Bordes also has the Artiga de Lin sanctuary located near the limit of the municipality with Vielha and with the remains of the Castèth Leon fortification and the Socasau house, located in the municipality of Begòs, which is in the middle of being a castle, a fortress and a manor house.
