Innumerable monasteries, cathedrals and churches bestrew the streets and mountainsides of Aragon, Spain. Your holiday accommodation in the foothills of the Pyrenees will offer up treasures from the medieval and Renaissance worlds, including Goya's celebrated artworks and clifftop castles.
What to eat on your holiday in Aragon
Tapas is the traditional food of Spain, but in the culture-filled foothills of the Pyrenees, these dishes are subject to delicious twists. Jamón, sausage, fried eggs and potatoes are accompanied by Aragon's Migas. Breadcrumbs, garlic, sausages and peppers form the local delicacy which you can try in a myriad of forms at La Migueria in Zaragoza.
Try Mercado Central's Frutas de Aragon chocolates, identifiable by their brightly coloured wrapping. Another Aragon speciality is Longaniza sausage with spicy smoked paprika. South of Zaragoza, dry and windy Teruel produces sublime cured ham to rival western Spain's Iberico.
Cultural sights in Aragon
At night the lit spires of Basilica de Nuestra are one of Zaragoza's most iconic sights. The Baroque jewel has been a place of spiritual pilgrimage for 2,000 years.
Museo Goya presents 500 works by Francisco de Goya, including the artist's famous engravings and drawings. Audio guides promote the study of this imaginative and influential hero of figurative art.
Palacio de la Aljaferia's stalwart walls date back to the Moorish occupation of Aragon after 1065 and house a museum in the former barracks. The moated palace has protected Zaragoza ever since.
Exploring around Aragon
Ordesa National Park's alpine mountains have been part of the Pyrenees' international heritage for over a decade and protected for much longer. Ecosystems in the 16,000 hectare park meld Mediterranean and Atlantic influences, which is dominated by the 3355 metre high Monte Perdido (Lost Mountain).
The Cistercian Monasterio de Piedra is sequestered amongst waterfalls and leafy fauna, which finds visual echoes in the stunning Gothic arches of its cloister and chapels. A spa and hotel on site capitalise on the otherworldly atmosphere of this idyllic place.
