The murals have been made with 30x60cm. porcelain tiles and with Klinkjet digital injection technology. The images that the murals show are striking drawings inspired by the Soaso Circus, in the Ordesa Valley, with the Tres Sorores in the background: the Cilindro, the Monte Perdido and the Soum de Ramond, which is accompanied by the slogan "100 years with you". The composition is completed with the names of the six municipalities of the National Park: Torla-Ordesa, Broto, Fanlo, Puértolas, Tella-Sin and Bielsa. The creativity, of six square meters, has been designed by Saúl M. Irigaray and the consultant Comunicanza on the occasion of the Centennial. These murals will remain as a remembrance of the event, whose benefits will be extended during the years 2018 and 2019.
