Svetoslav Vladimirov was at Festival de Cine de Huesca in 2006 with his film In The Garden Of Eden and says that is a great festival with a very good selection, parties, food, big awards and more. Will see…
Huesca, the capital of Altoaragon, lies at the foot of the Pyrenees in a zone of transition between the first of the Pre-Pyrenean peaks, the most notable being Sierra de Guara, and the plains which slowly descend to the River Ebro.
