City in Spain
4 things to see
This Pyrenean gateway on the Camino Aragones pairs a star-shaped Renaissance citadel with Spain’s oldest Romanesque cathedral, set against a mountain backdrop. Wandering the old town and the cathedral square costs nothing, and the mountain trails that start near town are free to walk. Jaca is a practical budget base for hiking, skiing, and exploring the high Pyrenees without resort-town prices, and it sits within reach of Zaragoza for travelers heading down from the mountains. Summer and early autumn are the cheapest, snow-free windows for walkers.

What each one costs, where the cost is known.
A perfectly preserved 16th-century star-shaped fortress, one of the finest examples of Renaissance military architecture in Europe. The exterior walls and deer park are free; a small fee applies for the military miniatures museum inside.
One of the oldest Romanesque cathedrals in Spain, dating from the 11th century and a key stop on the Camino de Santiago. Free entry to the nave, with extraordinary carved capitals and a distinctive chequerboard pattern on the exterior.
A remarkable collection of rescued Romanesque and Gothic wall paintings from Pyrenean churches, displayed in the cathedral cloister. A small fee applies, but it holds some of the most important medieval murals in Aragon.
