Aragon

From the high Pyrenees to the Ebro Valley, with Zaragoza's Basilica del Pilar and the Ordesa Canyon as highlights.

Aragon lies in northeastern Spain, bordered by the Pyrenees and France to the north, with the Ebro Valley in the centre and the Iberian System mountains in the south. The capital, Zaragoza, has the Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar and the Aljafería Palace. Aragon's Mudéjar architecture is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with the old town of Teruel a prime example. In the north, Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park is known for its canyons, waterfalls and hiking trails, with Torla as the gateway to the mountains, and the Pyrenees offer skiing in winter. Summer is best for mountain hiking, and spring and autumn for city trips. Zaragoza's high-speed rail station connects to Madrid and Barcelona.
