They first saw the  Conde de Aranda exhibition space, which has been remodelled with new content as the anniversary of Pedro Pablo Abarca de Bolea, the 10th Count of Aranda’s birth, was celebrated in 2019. He was born in Siétamo in 1719.

In the heart of the Aragonese Pyrenees is the Protected Landscape of San Juan de la Peña and Monte Oroel, and among them is the most outstanding elements of the Old Monastery of San Juan de la Peña covered by the huge rock that gives it its name featuring an extensive chronology that began in the 10th century.

Inside, the pre-Romanesque church, the paintings of San Cosme and San Damián, from the 12th century, the Pantheon of Nobles, the upper church that was consecrated in 1094, and the Gothic chapel of San Victorián stand out. The work of two different workshops and the Royal Pantheon, in a neoclassical style, from the last third of the 18th century, is still shown in the building.

Next, the couple headed towards the town of Jaca, capital of the Aragonese Pyrenees, where they had a small walkabout.

The Royal couple received a very warm welcome during the street walk when they were heading towards the Cathedral of San Pedro.

At the Cathedral, following the long-standing tradition, King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain placed a white flag on the highest point of the Cathedral, a symbol that indicates that the city is free of the epidemic and gave free passage to the pilgrims who want to follow the Camino de Santiago. As the Pyrenees are free of epidemics, the flag was raised.

The next stop of the day was Ice Pavillion where Felipe and Letizia held a meeting with authorities representing the tourism sector of Aragon.

Tourism represents more than 8% of the Aragonese GDP and is one of the most important sectors for establishing a population in the territory. Inland tourism has the opportunity to be the first to recover given the rising numbers of careful travellers who are following the guidelines of non-crowded destinations, proximity tourism.
