Nuez de Ebro is a town in the province of Zaragoza, in the community of Aragón. The town is of medieval origin, founded by the Knights of the Nut, who were part of King James I's expedition to Mallorca to conquer the Muslim kingdom.

Its most important cultural heritage is the palace house where the town hall is currently located, forming the same architectural complex with the church of San Martín.

Part of its term is occupied by the directed natural reserve of the Sotos and Galachos del Ebro. The galachos are natural spaces formed from ancient meanders of the Ebro River, which when changing its channel form lagoons, islands and riverside forests. These wetlands have their own flora (reeds, tamarisks, salces, poplars) and fauna (birds such as buzzards, jackdaws, woodpeckers, blackcaps and others).

Cornel Castle and Hermitage of the Virgen de la Peña

Highlight • Castle

From the top of a hill, the Hermitage of the Virgen de la Peña and the Castle of Cornel, dominate the town of Alfajarín, the hermitage is a construction framed in the late Gothic style of the 16th century and the castle of the 11th century, with the mission to monitor the banks of the Ebro and protect Zaragoza from the east. Both buildings located in an environment with magnificent views of the valley to the south and the foothills of the Monegros to the north. It is definitely worth a visit. They share a parking lot with the Alfajarín castle and not far away we can reach the popular Osborne bull
