Discover Fraga

Fraga, a laborious city in the province of Huesca, presents itself as the entrance point to Aragon for pilgrims traveling along the Catalan Way (Camí de Sant Jaume) from Lleida. Situated in the fertile valley of the River Cinca, the town is an important center of fruit production, creating a landscape of lush greenery that contrasts strongly with the aridity of the Monegros region surrounding it. For the walker, arriving at Fraga is to find a large center of services, ideal for rest and replenishment after an demanding stage. Its old town, of Arab origin, ascends a slope and preserves a narrow and winding street pattern. The church of Saint Peter, of Visigothic origin, and the Montcada Palace are its main landmarks. In the Way of St James, Fraga is a strategic stop marking the transition from Catalonia to Aragon, offering pilgrims hospitality from its people and the opportunity to enjoy the flavors of its orchard before continuing on to the west in search of the link with the Ebro Route.
