Exploring the Northern Spanish heartlands of Aragon – Part 1

Following the ancient route of the Camino de Santiago…a pilgrim’s route to the Santiago di Compostela… we headed into the centre of Jaca after a quick descent from the Pyrenees… They say Jaca is called the ‘Pearl of the Pyrenees’ and it’s easy to see why with a truly impressive citadel and series of historic buildings. In terms of an overnight stay, we’d opted for the popular & free motorhome aire near the municipal bus station. Another free night is always welcomed when you’re trying to make your way around Europe on under 50 euros a night (for a family of 4)




Unfortunately this is one of the more difficult parts to a road trip with a young family, but needs must so we packed our bags!! And headed south, leaving the rest of Zaragoza for another day… A somewhat sad end to the day yet we are really excited to see Teruel next… Another not always on everyone’s ‘to do list’ but hopefully we’ll be enchanted by the moorish influence on this walled city set in it’s reddish ochre rocks (some 90mins to the south east of Zaragoza)
