Panticosa (in Aragonese: Pandicosa[2][3]) is a municipality located in the province of Huesca, Aragon, Spain.
During the late 19th century and early 20th century, it was a successful spa town, famous for its pure mountain waters, that supposedly cured everything from liver diseases to herpes.
Its Belle Époque spa buildings are well kept and still in use.
The first-ever FAI World Paragliding Hike and Fly Championship will take place in Panticosa from June 6 to June 13, 2027.[4]
