Where is Castellazo?

The village is about 87 kilometers (around 54 miles) east-northeast of the city of Huesca. Its location in Aragon means it's surrounded by the natural beauty of the Pyrenees mountains and their foothills.

Life in a Small Locality

Living in a small locality like Castellazo is very different from living in a big city. With only 20 residents, everyone likely knows each other well. This creates a strong sense of community. Daily life might be slower and more connected to nature.

Many small villages in Spain, especially in mountainous areas, have a rich history. They often feature old stone houses, narrow streets, and sometimes even ancient churches or ruins. These places offer a glimpse into traditional Spanish life.
