Spectacular views towards Añón de Moncayo and in the background, Moncayo.

Añón de Moncayo retains a medieval atmosphere in its streets and buildings, where the influence of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem is still evident. Construction of the castle began in 1238, during the reign of James I of Aragon, to protect the area, as the town was strategically located between kingdoms.

Real Monasterio de Santa María de Veruela, or "The Royal Monastery of Santa María de Veruela") is a Cistercian abbey from the 12th century. It is located near Vera de Moncayo. It was founded in 1146 by Pedro de Atarés. Source wikipedia.

Borja has been on the map since the 5th century BC, there are about 5000 inhabitants and the town offers several sights. Church of San Miquel, church Sante Maria, baroque monastery Santa Klara etc.

Borja has a pronounced continental climate with limited precipitation of 350 to 450 mm per year. Hail and frost are common in spring and a cold, dry northerly wind (the cierzo) is typical of the area.

Visiting it is doing a deep review of the history of art in Spain, since in its construction there are spaces where all the styles that have existed since the 12th century, the time when construction began, come together. It is a unique example of a Gothic cathedral with an exceptional Mudejar and Renaissance legacy. The Tarazona Cathedral was built in the French Gothic style, but it maintains magnificent examples of the Mudejar style, including a Gothic-Mudejar cloister.
