Camino del Cid: The Three Taifas Route

El Cid fought his first great literary battle (according to the Poem) in Alcocer, which is today a deserted place near Ateca (Zaragoza) and it is here where travellers start their route, or in Calatayud, 15 km away, to whose gates El Cid chased one of the Moorish generals defeated in his battle with 3000 Moorish knights from Valencia.
The route includes fertile valleys, canyons and narrow river gorges; four important fortressed medieval sites: Calatayud, Daroca, Molina de Aragón and Albarracín, which are, together with Orihuela del Tremedal, Historic Sites.
There are outstanding samples of Mudejar architecture, which have been declared World Site Heritage. Romanesque art in Daroca. Wild nature in the stretch between Molina de Aragón and Albarracín.
