Aragon is known throughout Spain for the highest Pyrenees, the snowiest ski stations and as the home of the jota, the country’s best-known folkloric music and dance.
Aragon is a treasure trove of Mudéjar architecture, with fine examples in Tarazona, Catalyud and Teruel. Zaragoza is the region’s capital and its main sights are the Basílica de Nuestra Señora Del Pilar and the Aljafería Moorish palace.
ZARAGOZA
Zaragoza is the capital of the Region of Aragon and is located on the banks of the Ebro River, halfway between Madrid and Barcelona.
You will find a stunning legacy of monuments in the streets of the city, vestiges of the Roman, Moorish, Jewish and Christian communities who left their mark on the place.
Zaragoza has a range of shops to suit all tastes. From pedestrian areas to large shopping centers, not forgetting the street markets.
BIELSA
Bielsa is a small town situated on the western slopes of the mountains that form part of the Ordesa National Park in Spain, making it an ideal base if you enjoy hiking.
Wild boar, otters, and chamois deer can be seen roaming through the Park. There are still brown bears, one of Europe’s most threatened species, in the more remote parts.
