Albeta
Village
Albeta is a small municipality of Campo de Borja, in the province of Zaragoza, with 138 inhabitants (INE 2025) on barely 2.65 km², at 412 metres above sea level, 3 kilometres from Borja and 60 from the provincial capital. Its name comes from Arabic and means “hamlet.” It sits on the left bank of the Huecha river, where the Fuente del Ojo rises, its sulphurous, magnesium-rich waters known since antiquity. It has Roman origins: in the Gorrona site a villa was found with a private bath complex with several pools and a changing room. After the Reconquest it was a secular lordship divided in two. It is one of the villages of the Huecha vega where cardoon and borage are grown, vegetables typical of Aragonese cuisine that also accompany Lenten salt cod throughout the comarca.
