Jacetania

Jacetania is an administrative region in northern Aragon spread across mountainous terrain with several valleys and river systems. The area contains multiple small towns and villages with Jaca serving as its main center.

The area takes its name from the Iacetani, an ancient Iberian people who lived here and later formed the foundation of the County of Aragon. This early history shaped the region for centuries to come.

The region maintains its connection to mountain traditions visible in local festivals and craft practices across its villages. These customs shape daily life and show how highland communities continue their way of living.

The region is reached through several main roads that connect its valleys with neighboring areas. The best time to visit is summer when mountain routes are easily accessible, though winter draws visitors for snow activities.

The region holds two alpine ski resorts with extensive slopes in the Pyrenees that draw adventure seekers from across the area. These mountain facilities strongly define the territory's winter character.
