Aragon is an autonomous community in north eastern Spain. It is bordered on the north by France, in the south by Valencia, to the east by Catalonia and to the west by Navarre. Aragon has three provinces, Zaragoza, Huesco and Teruel. In the north, the Aragon Pyrenees have some very high peaks and inaccessible valleys, but further north there are many towns and fertile valleys. In the south the region is rather barren.
