Historical milestone · Cariñena, Campo de Cariñena, Zaragoza

Image of Cariñena, not of the place itself.

The opening of the narrow-gauge line to Zaragoza made it possible to get the comarca's wine out just when phylloxera was destroying the French vineyards and sending demand soaring. The boom that followed led Alfonso XIII to grant the town the title of city in 1909.
