If you are a lover of beautiful and beautiful but peaceful locations, a visit to the locality of Jaca<\/strong><\/a>which is located in the province of Huesca<\/strong>. This municipality, located in the small and lost but very beautiful comarca of La Jacetania<\/strong>is made up of numerous neighbourhoods, which I will now list: Guasa, Guasillo, Ip\u00e1s, Jarlata, Larrosa, Lastiesas Altas, Osia, Ull\u00e9, Villanovilla and Yosa de Garcipollera Lastiesas Bajas Abay, Abena, Ac\u00edn, Ara, Aragu\u00e1s del Solano, Ascara, , Besc\u00f3s de Garcipollera, Binu\u00e9, Botaya, Cani\u00e1s, Espu\u00e9ndolas, Fraginal, Gracion\u00e9pel, , Martillu\u00e9, Navasa, Navasilla, Asieso, Ast\u00fan, Atar\u00e9s, Badagu\u00e1s, Banagu\u00e1s, Baragu\u00e1s, Bar\u00f3s, Bataragu\u00e1, Bergosa, Bernu\u00e9s Nov\u00e9s and Orante. All these neighbourhoods are home to more than thirteen thousand inhabitants, who are always very hospitable and willing to make your stay one of the best.<\/p>\n

The most magical thing about Jaca is its abundant history<\/strong> that you will find in all its corners, as it contains moments from two centuries before the birth of Christ. It is so exuberant that it contains hints of the Roman Empire<\/strong>of the subsequent Gothic conquests<\/strong>of the Christians<\/strong> who were forced to take refuge here with the arrival of the Arabs<\/strong>and many other events that completely changed the history of our country. The construction of a small town took place here, built on direct orders from Philip II<\/strong>She was also a very important ally for the Philip V<\/strong> in the War of Succession<\/strong>. It was a key place in the Roussillon War, and even the War of Independence and the Carlist Wars.<\/strong> happened under the watchful eye of this historic town.<\/p>\n

All this great history is complemented by countless artistic and historical monuments that populate every corner of the city, such as the enormous St Peter's Cathedral<\/strong><\/a>the great and extensive Museum of Military Miniatures<\/strong>and even the Fort Rapitan<\/strong>The latter is located at the northern end of the town.<\/p>\n

We can also visit the Town Hall<\/strong>founded more than five hundred years ago, the Benedictine Monasteries<\/strong>the Old Park<\/strong> or the lush and beautiful Church of Santiago<\/strong>. The San Juan de la Pe\u00f1a Monastery<\/strong><\/a>also steeped in history, is located close to this city, which completes a location full of events that you should know about.<\/p>\n

Finally, what rounds off an experience that is already quite complete, are the joyful and hospitable festivities of Jaca, such as the Pyrenees Folklore Festival or the First Friday in May Festival<\/strong>. If you have any other favourite activity, you may well find it in the city of Jaca, as it dazzles in so many ways that it is a must-see for anyone who wants to experience a piece of Spanish history.<\/p>\n
