Jaca, charming city
Jaca is a charming, compact, and beautiful city. The Citadel is very interesting and, with its deer, invites a long and extended visit. The downtown is very walkable. Many small shops and very friendly people. It is recommended to leave the car in the Citadel parking lot because parking is complicated.
