This route crosses sierras of wild natural beauty and historical interest, well-preserved as well as depopulated, but hiding treasures that are highly enjoyable. Then it goes northbound to the Ebro Valley. The first branch comes from Castellon and enters the Maestrazgo, an intricate sierra of high landscapes and beautiful villages full of history: Mosqueruela, La Iglesuela del Cid, Cantavieja or Mirambel. From Alcañiz, crowned with a Calatrava castle, and presided by the Renaissance Town Hall and the Gothic Lonja, it continues to Zaragoza passing by the Iberian ruins of Azaila and following the course of the river Ebro.

Or it follows the Monegros route after visiting Caspe, next to the big Mequinenza reservoir, a fishing paradise, at the foot of a castle. Another route coming from the Ebro delta arrives in Caspe as well, going through Calaceite and Alcañiz and connecting again with the river in the Cistercian monastery of Rueda. From Sagunto and Valencia, the route follows the course of the tiver Turia to Teruel, a city declared World's Heritage by the UNESCO.
It is the best example of the Mudejar art, with the outstanding cathedral, with its dome and coffered ceiling, and the slender and beautiful towers of San Pedro, San Martin and el Salvador.
An alternative route branches off towards Castilla, through the wooded Sierra of Albarracin and passes under the Arab walls of this picturesque town, whose visit is highly recommended. The route that goes to Zaragoza follows the Roman road parallel to the river Jiloca, passing by the Roman bridges of Calamocha and Luco de Jiloca. This is a good occasion to taste Teruel's ham, with denominacion de origen (officially certified typical local product). In Daroca, impressive Mudejar city with neverending walls, a road leads to Zaragoza through Campo de Cariñena, where an excellent wine with denominacion de origen is produced. Another road takes us to Calatayud, with Arab name and full of Mudejar monuments; from this area, producer of wines with denominacion de origen, we arrive in Castilla through Soria or in Zaragoza through an excellent motorway. So, the Santiago route in Aragon comprises three main routes with different origins in which there are plenty of references to Santiago, and many paths that make the pilgrim discover the varied landscape and the ancient cultural heritage of Aragon
