Hostels in Aragon

The famous area of Aragon, Spain -- formerly the Kingdom of Aragon -- is home to a large amount of history. The major city in Aragon is Zaragoza, which was originally established by the Romans and then later conquered by the Muslims from the south, who then in turn were conquered by the Navarre from the west. It is home to a rich amount of royal history and conflict, and at the height of its popularity also saw rule over Catalonia, parts of Italy, and also part of Greece under the Crown of Aragon.

Zaragoza is where you will find majority of the hostels in Aragon, Spain. You will not need any more than a day or two to explore the city here. You should definitely stop in and spend some time at the Aljaferia. The building has some of the most impressive Islamic architecture in all of Spain. The city is also home to some impressive churches. You will find that here, like in a lot of parts of Spain that there is a real fusion of different cultural and religious influences in the buildings, based on the number of different conquests of Spain over the years.
