DAROCA IMPRESSES WITH BOLD & GLORIOUS HISTORY

Daroca is a bold fortress town that once held great power as the midway point between the two great Roman cities of Valentia (Valencia) and Caesaraugusta(Zaragoza). El Cid, marched victoriously at Darocas with his troops after a campaign against the Moors. And a Holy Miracle launched the building of a Holy Relic Church to house a blood stained cloth found after another victorious battle against the Moors. Now, many centuries later, it is a great place to explore and have lunch at the fine dining restaurant at the local hotel.

The video below the photos shows an aerial view of the massive fortress walls that once protected this vital town.
