In a strategic alliance with the Tourism Department of the Provincial Council of Zaragoza, we offer you twelve routes accompanied by a complete tour of the villages of Territorio Mudéjar in a temporary journey through the Mudejar of our province that begins in the middle of the 13th century and ends in the last decades of the 16th century.

This journey takes us from the urban beauty of the coexistence of the Christian, Jewish and Muslim populations, to the emergence of the key works of the 14th and 15th centuries: the fortress churches and the towers.

Not forgetting that we are in a place full of life and activity, with a wide range of handicrafts and a rich gastronomy based on local produce and the traditional use of the landscape.

We want you to get to know our places, full of professionals who work with works that are unique in the world in a territory marked by the creation of beautiful places, respectful of the landscape and where the inhabitants are the beginning and the end of all actions.

Will you join us?

The routes under the theme Mudejar, Mestizo and Frontier lead us to the localities in which the Christian, Jewish and Muslim cultures developed in an extraordinary and lasting way. The planned trips will allow us to understand how this period of cultural fusion is still clearly reflected today in the town planning, the houses and monuments of these towns that played an important role in the Aragonese territory during the 12th and 13th centuries. We will discover this in the Jewish quarters, Moorish quarters and Christian quarters of large urban centres such as Calatayud, Daroca and Borja, as well as in towns with a more rural structure such as Villafeliche, Mesones de Isuela, Torrellas, Magallón and Tauste.
