Are you planning your next vacation? Well, today we are going to propose that you travel to one of those autonomous communities that, although often not taken into account, is an ideal destination for multiple reasons. We refer to Aragón , a place that has many attractions: spectacular natural landscapes, exquisite cuisine, an important cultural and artistic heritage, and countless leisure and sports offers for both the smallest of the house and for adults.
Although we could spend years and years talking about the beautiful things that can be found in Aragon, today at Vuela Viajes we want to focus on one of its great attractions: its beautiful towns. Next we are going to show you some of the most beautiful, although we apologize in advance for those that we have left in the inkwell. And there are so many beautiful towns in this community!
Albarracin
First of all we want to tell you about Albarracín, an authentic charming town located in Teruel. Located at the foot of a mountain, this town at 1,182 meters above sea level stands out for its spectacular historic center. In fact, it was declared a Historic-Artistic Site more than 50 years ago.
Ansó
From Teruel we move to Huesca, where you can find beautiful towns such as Ansó, which is located in the heart of the Aragonese Pyrenees. Bordering France, this town will surprise you with its beautiful natural landscapes where, of course, you can practice a lot of high and mid-mountain activities. In addition, it stands out for its important architectural heritage, perfectly preserving its urban area. Nor should we forget their traditional costumes and gastronomy
You are of the Catholic King
Also in Zaragoza you can find charming towns. Sos del Rey Católico, declared a Historic-Artistic Site, is one of them. And it is that in addition to offering beautiful views of mountains and valleys, this town surprises with its stone houses, Gothic and Renaissance windows, narrow streets of old cobblestone and portals with voussoirs and shields. Among its many attractions we highlight the castle, the Jewish quarter and the Crypt of Forgiveness.
Daroca
We continue in Zaragoza to tell you about Daroca, a town surrounded by 4 kilometers of completely preserved walls. When you cross the Lower Gate you will find a lot of attractions : Gothic art, ruins of castles and towers, the Jewish quarter …
Loarre
Another of the towns that cannot be missing from our list is Loarre, where the oldest fortified castle in Spain is located. But don’t think that this is the only attraction in this town in Huesca! And it is that it has a very well-kept urban area and important buildings, such as the old Renaissance town hall or its parish church.
Valderrobres
We return to Teruel to tell you about Varderrobres, a town with an important architectural heritage . In fact, in its historic center you can find valuable buildings, such as the Parish Church of Santa María la Mayor, the Town Hall or the Archbishop’s Castle. It must be said that this entire Historical Complex was declared a Site of Cultural Interest by the Aragonese Government.
Aínsa
Another town that could not be missing from the list is Aínsa, where you can find stone constructions as spectacular as the castle with its Tower of Tenento. In addition, its architecturally Pyrenean streets and its beautiful Plaza Mayor are surprising, with quite low arcades but tremendously beautiful.
Alquézar
Finally, let’s go to Alquézar, a small town located in Huesca, specifically in a beautiful limestone landscape where the Vero River is also located. Here you will not only be able to practice activities such as canyoning, but you will also be able to contemplate spectacular cliffs and rock art caves, and take multiple hiking trails. And that’s not to mention its important architectural heritage.
