In the
north-eastern
part of Spain,
the region of
Aragon is one
of the most
history-rich
regions of
Spain yet most
of its surface
area is arid,
featureless
land and off
the tourist
menu. See the
ancient town
of
Calatayud.
This ancient
land is
divided into
three
provinces,
Zaragoza,
Huesca
and remote
Teruel. The
most visited
being the
region's
capital,
Zaragoza, not
least of all
because it
lies on the
main route
from
Madrid
to
Barcelona.
Aragon is best
known for two
of its former
residents.
Catherine of
Aragon who
foolishly
married Henry
VIII and
Ferdinand of
Aragon who
married Queen
Isabella of
Castille and
Leon in the
15th century. |
