Aragon

Sparsely populated, the old kingdom of Aragon is flanked by several worlds: France, Catalonia, Navarra and the northeastern reaches of Spain's Castilian heartland. If you love mountains, castles and stone villages, this place is for you.

You do need a vehicle to make the best of it, though, as its major rewards come from exploring in villages, small towns and sparsely populated mountain an country areas. Aragon is an ancient land composed of three provinces: Zaragoza; remote Teruel, which is farther south and Huesca;

Most of Aragon constitutes terra incognita for the average tourist- which is unfortunate, since it is one of the most historic regions of Spain. The one big city, Zaragoza City (Saragossa), has a warmth and a collection of monuments and sights that may make you linger longer than you planned and one of the most-visited destination in the region, the reason being because it lies on the main route between Madrid and Barcelona.  The Aragon Pyrenees forms the central region of Spanish Pyrenees in Huesca, in the northern Aragon province. The Pyrenees reaches its highest peaks in Aragon, which include Aneto (3,404 m),  Monte Perdido (3,355 m), Maladeta (3,308 m), Tres Sorores (3,353 m) and Posets(3,375 m). Central Aragon consists mainly of a series of treeless depressions and forlorn plateaus. It was the scene of some of the nastiest fighting in the civil war
