Aragon encompasses the eastward flowing Ebro River and its vast valley, the river being one of the largest and most important in Spain.
Aragon comprises four DO regions, with Somontano occupying the north and three smaller regions, Campo de Borja, Carinena and Calatayud, located further south in the river valley. It is an incredibly diverse region, bordered by mountains at either end, the landscape varies from snow-capped mountains in the north to arid plains in the south, with Green hills in between. The historic city of Zaragoza is the capital of the autonomous community and accounts for about half of its population, leaving the rest of the region sparsely populated and largely wild. Aragon, preceded by the Powerful medieval kingdom of Aragon, is said to have been named after the river Aragon, which runs through the region.
