In this exciting aerial tour, we explore some of the most fascinating places in Aragon. We start in the Old Village of Rodén, an evocative set of ruins that transports us to times gone by with its stone houses and deserted streets. Then, we fly over the Orwell Trenches, a historical testimony of the Spanish Civil War, where George Orwell fought and which are now preserved as a monument to memory.

Our journey continues to the Ibero Site of Cabezo de Alcalá, an impressive Iberian settlement that reveals the life and culture of its former inhabitants. From there, we head to the Aqueduct and Tunnel of the Val del Zafán Greenway, a work of engineering that winds through natural landscapes, offering spectacular views.

The next destination is the majestic Montearagón Castle, a medieval fortress that dominates the horizon and tells us stories of knights and battles. We cannot miss visiting the Aguarales de Valpalmas, a unique geological landscape with clay formations that seem to come from another world.

Finally, our drone takes us to the iconic Basilica del Pilar in Zaragoza, a magnificent example of baroque architecture that stands majestically on the banks of the Ebro River, being an important center of pilgrimage and devotion.
