Aragon (Spain)

The Aragon community, bordering on France with the Pyrenees, is of particular interest for its outstanding mountainous landscapes, with glacier lakes and several natural preserves where you still may observe animals which have been extincted in many other regions of Europe long ago. In total contrast is the plain Ebro valley, which is limited by the mountain range Moncayo, in the east.

When you are crossing Aragon's three provinces, Zaragoza , Huesca and Teruel , with many monumental towns, the splendor of the old Kingdom of Aragon , one of the centres of Spanish culture in medieval times, comes alive again.

The mountain ranges offer great possibilities for winter sports, and during the warm season you may explore this almost virginal natural paradise as well as the region's celebrated gastronomy, artisany and folklore.

The Cities:

Zaragoza - The region's capital, located at Ebro river, is one of the great monumental cities of Spain. Its historic heritage of Romans and Moors is documented in its museums.

Huesca - Huesca, located at the foot of the Pyrenee mountain range, offers landscapes of incredible beauty.
