Somontano means “”at the foot of the mountains””, and that’s where this region is located: at the foot of the Pyrenees.
This area has the perfect conditions for winemaking, and the history of viticulture goes back to the early Middle Ages.
Alquézar, al-qasr in Arabic, grew from a Muslim fortress in the 9th century to a small town with a magnificent cultural, historical, and natural heritage.
