Belorado

The 22 municipalities of these lands are operated under a common association. Belorado was an important strategic location. Its birth as we know it today is closely related to an early medieval castle which controlled the passage through the Ebro Valley to the plateau during the Reconquista. The town was the first place in Spain to celebrate a fair. It was in 1116, thanks to the privilege granted by King Alfonso I of Aragon.

In the eighties Belorado was an important place, specializing in the production of animal fur products. Despite this history only a few factories remain, although its glorious past in the fur industry is still visible by a multitude of old posters that still hang on the facades of the buildings.
