AragonAll Good Things Come In Threes
Aragón is perhaps the region of undiscovered Spain that most deserves to be enjoyed by visitors. On second thoughts . . . let's keep the delights of Aragón between ourselves. When I think of the region, the first thing that comes to my mind – apart from the incredible story of the Crown of Aragón - are the Aragonese Pyrenees in
Huesca. These are three truly impressive mountains and with Monte Perdido (3,335 metres), Les Posets (3,367 metres) and El Aneto (3,404 metres) are also
home to some of the highest peaks in Spain.
One of the reasons for the existence of these valleys is Aragón's third element - the River Ebro, which runs between the Pyrenees and the Iberian System through some very flat lands, and the irrigated countryside of Aragón close to the Ebro and its tributaries is lush and green and in stark contrast to the almost desert-like terrain of Los Monegros in the province of Zaragoza. Another of Aragón's delights is the the National Park of Ordesa and Monte Perdido, which is also an important nature reserve for both animals - the chamois, boar, marmot and even the hard to find Pyrenean water-mole - and birds of prey – the vultures and eagles that plane above that peaks quite simply take your breath away. Other features include the Pyrenean Glaciars, the Sierra de Guara, San Juan de la Peña – which are all in Huesca – the aforementioned Moncayo range in Zaragoza province are all worth a visit from historian and nature lover alike. If Huesca is famous for it's natural beauty, Teruel is well-known for its splendid mudéjar architecture and without doubt merits its place as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. And what can you say about Zaragoza – the region´s capital and Spain's fifth largest city, home to the mesmerising Seo, the Basilica del Pilar and many more awe-inspiring monuments. Furthermore, although not a provincial capital, Jaca - one of the main centres of religious devotion along the Camino de Santiago As it's not really on the tourist route, it's difficult to find an adequate standalone guide to the region of Aragón. However, the DK Eyewitness Guide to Northern Spain Football In AragónThe region's main club is, without doubt, Real Zaragoza - one of the 'historicos' of Spanish football. They were relegated in 2008 but after only one season
in Segunda, they'll be back in the Primera Liga for 2009-10.
