Aragon Tourist Guide 2016

Surprising Treasures The Iberian mountain system spanning Aragon connects the Castilian interior with the Mediterranean coast. And in the centre, the Ebro River runs across the region from west to east. So it is hardly surprising that different civilisations have left their mark here. Iberians, Visigoths, Muslims, Romans, Jews and Christians: the result is a people proud of their individuality and their traditions. The physical characteristics of the territory also create very different landscapes: from snow-capped high mountain to desert steppe; from fertile plains to steep forests; from bleak crags to wide open valleys. Its vast territory of almost 48,000 km2 has 1,300,000 inhabitants. It has a strategic location as it is equidistant from Spain’s most important cities and has a good communications network. All this makes visiting Aragon an adventure in search of a kingdom full of amazing treasures, where travellers will always feel at home. / ARAGON, YOUR KINGDOM ACULTURAL CROSSROADS FOR THOUSANDS OFYEARS HAS GIVEN RISE TO AN OPENANDWELCOMINGARAGON.
