"Find the contrast" a Calatayud Travel Page by morganna

Calatayud is a small city located in Aragon, which is not very renowned for tourists, but it can offer a lot of interesting points.

I've been going there to visit my grandma since I was a child, Still today I feel something weird in the solitude of the castle, in the middle of a desertic area, and domining all the valley.
