Leave Zaragoza on N 232, going northwest, and in 24km/15mi turn right into a secondary road which leads to Tauste, on C 127. From there C 127 runs north via Ejea de los Caballeros to Sádaba, crosses the Puerto de Sos (856m/2809ft) and comes to Sos del Rey Católico, a little walled town which has largely preserved its medieval aspect. Ferdinand of Aragon, "el Rey Católico", was born here in 1452 in the 12th century Palacio de Sada. In the Plaza Mayor are the Renaissance Town Hall and the Lonja (Exchange), and nearby the Romanesque parish church of San Esteban (11th-12th century), with a sculptured doorway and excellently preserved 14th century wall paintings.
