Fountain at the Cantera promenade

Highlight • Natural Monument

Fresh water fountain at the beginning of the Paseo de la Cantera. From the source there are very nice views of the Aragón river valley and the surrounding villages.

The great pentagonal citadel is the most imposing structure in the city.

Construction of the complex began in 1592. The occasion was the European religious wars of the 16th century and the strategically important location of the city of Jaca near the border and at the foot of important passes to France. Construction was completed in 1670.
In 2007, a museum of military miniatures (Museo de Miniaturas Militares) was opened in the fortress.
If you want to visit the citadel, you should note that it closes between 1:30 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. After that it's open again until 8:00 p.m.

Jaca Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

The city of Jaca is located on the banks of the Aragón River, in the province of Huesca. Its old town houses an interesting cultural heritage, including the cathedral, a beautiful example of Spanish Romanesque architecture from the 11th century, and the citadel, an impressive 19th-century fortress.

Aísa

Highlight • Settlement

Aísa is one of my favorite towns in La Jacetania, especially because of the magnificent views of the Aspe it offers. When you cross its road by bike you will pass by the cafeteria of an accommodation with a large terrace that is usually always open and is also very used to receiving cyclists who are passing through.

Church of the Assumption of Canfranc

Highlight • Religious Site

There are numerous pilgrims who pass through the town every year following the Aragonese section of the Camino Frances de Santiago. This route lived its splendor in the Middle Ages, five centuries of pilgrimage that left wonderful stories and legends, as well as an artistic and cultural legacy of extraordinary richness.
