Puertomingalvo is found in the eastern part of Spain. It sits at a high elevation of 1,449 meters (about 4,754 feet) above sea level. Imagine living in a town that's almost as high as some of the tallest mountains you've seen!
Mountains and Nature
The town is very close to the Sierra de Mayabona mountain range. This range is part of a larger system called the Iberian System. The Iberian System is a huge group of mountains that stretches across a big part of central and eastern Spain. Being in such a mountainous area means Puertomingalvo is surrounded by stunning views and lots of nature.
What is a Municipality?
Puertomingalvo is called a "municipality." In Spain, a municipality is like a local government area. It's a bit like a town or a small district that has its own local council and mayor. This council helps manage things like local services, roads, and community activities for the people living there.
Provinces and Autonomous Communities
Puertomingalvo is in the Province of Teruel. A province is a larger area, like a county in some other countries. Teruel province is then part of the Aragon region. Aragon is one of Spain's 17 "autonomous communities." These communities are like big regions that have their own governments and can make some of their own laws, similar to states in other countries. So, Puertomingalvo is a small part of a much larger system of government in Spain.
