Catalan is the everyday language of this Matarraña town, strung along a ridge between the Matarraña and Algás rivers. Its old streets hold many historic buildings, and a kilometre south lie the remains of the Iberian settlement of San Antonio, excavated by the local archaeologist Juan Cabré. Look out for flaonets, small pastries filled with pumpkin jam and honey.

Highlights
