“Discover Mudejar Territory. 14 routes, 48 destinations” offers a calendar with 29 dates on which it will be possible to book one of the 14 guided tours to discover the Mudejar heritage, the landscape, the traditions and the gastronomy of the 48 municipalities through which they will pass. As a novelty, this year the visits are free of charge and those interested will only have to pay the cost of transport from Zaragoza if necessary.

The routes will start on 3 December and will run until the end of next year.

The routes were presented this morning by Cristina Palacín, the Zaragoza Provincial Council’s Deputy Delegate for Tourism, and Victoria Trasobares, the Director of Territorio Mudéjar.

The aim of the routes is to discover and enjoy the Mudejar style in the province and to learn about its evolution from the 13th century to the end of the 16th century. They are divided into five themes so that visitors can enjoy the urban beauty of the coexistence of the Christian, Jewish and Muslim populations; the origins of this artistic style, its language and building tradition; get to know one of the key elements of Mudejar art: the towers; enjoy the fortress churches and understand how the Mudejars integrated the landscape and the materials of the area; and discover the monuments declared World Heritage by Unesco: the collegiate church of Santa María de Calatayud, Santa Tecla de Cervera de la Cañada and the church of the Virgin of Tobed.

Those interested can already book their place through the Territorio Mudéjar website, by calling 876 634 125 or by sending an email to rutas@territoriomudejar.es.
