What to do in Parador de Sos Del Rey Católico

Sos del Rey Católico, which has been declared a Historic-Artistic Site, is part of the Cinco Villas region, in the northwest of the province of Zaragoza and very close to Navarre. The best way to discover the town is to lose yourself in its cobbled streets, with its defensive wall and high walls, Gothic and Renaissance windows and period coats of arms. You mustn’t miss the Casa de la Villa (a sixteenth century Renaissance building), the hermitage of Santa Lucia (late twelfth century), the school Isidoro Gil de Jaz (eighteenth century) and the Jewish quarter, now known as the upper quarter.
