Tips from the Community
A charming place with a lot of history is the one that we find perched on top of the rock in the town of Illueca. It is the Castle - Palace of Pope Luna (who was born here) that stands out from afar. They make very interesting guided tours (prior reservation) based on the history of the palace itself and of Papa Luna. There is restaurant and hotel service

We are in the Sierra de Armantes, in a place shaped by wind and water. We would not say that we are in Zaragoza! What a beautiful print and what contrasts of colors, apart from some impressive views. It will remind us of the Far West, what's more, in Zaragoza they call it the Bilbilitano Far West.
