I saw today a TV documentary about the town of Alquezar in Huesca province, near the Pirinees and the natural park of Sierra de Guara.
It's a very beautyful medieval town in the mountains near a river called Vero, famous for its canyons.
You can also visit the prehistoric cave paintings made from 8000 to 3000 B.C. The caves were declared by UNESCO Word Heritage in 1998 sites.
It seems a paradise in the middle of Somontano wine land.
I think I will go there for my next holidays.
