This town in the region of Hoya de Huesca in the community of Aragón appears mentioned for the first time in 1104, in a concord between the bishop of Huesca and the abbot of Montearagón. Its origin is Roman, a link that still survives in the tradition of the "vote", which unites Alerre with six other towns that surround Huesca and form the "Seven Places". This historical community was united by the promise of a vote destined to ask for the holy protection of a saint, Lorenzo, son of two Roman subjects who lived in a Roman settlement near present-day Huesca, and who was martyred in Rome. Alerre has an interesting costume and footwear museum, located in the keep, next to the town hall, and which collects more than 3,000 pieces from all over the world, donated by the Scottish diplomat of Spanish origin Tomás Moyano.

Almudévar is a town in Huesca in the Hoya de Huesca region, in the community of Aragón. The origins of Almudévar date back to pre-Roman times, when Basques lived there. Since Romanization it acquired great importance, being located in the heart of Vía Lata, the Roman road that linked Zaragoza with Lérida. After the Muslim domination it acquired the current toponym, which means "round", referring to the outline of the castle, a Muslim fortress known as Castle of the Crown. Among its heritage, the parish church of the Assumption stands out, whose construction began in 1757, as the old church, located within the castle grounds, threatened ruin.
