What to see and do in Fuentes de Ebro

Fuentes de Ebro
Village
Fuentes de Ebro is a municipality in the Comarca Central of Zaragoza, 27 km from the capital, beside the río Ebro and its tributary the Ginel, and includes the village of Rodén. It is famous for the Fuentes de Ebro onion, with a protected designation of origin, thanks to an agricultural sector favoured by irrigation from the Ebro. In 1459 the County of Fuentes was established, which also grouped together Mediana, Fuendetodos, Jaulín, María and Botorrita, under the descendants of Juan Fernández de Heredia, Grand Master of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, who built a sumptuous palace with its own chapel. In late August 1937 the village was the last stronghold of Republican defence before Zaragoza during the offensive on the Aragón front, and its church of San Miguel Arcángel was badly damaged by artillery.
Sweet Onion of Fuentes de Ebro
Curiosity
The Fuentes de Ebro Onion has held a Protected Designation of Origin since 2010 and is grown, processed and packaged in six municipalities of the area, including Fuentes de Ebro, in the province of Zaragoza. It is a sweet variety, straw-white on the outside with white inner layers, with a tender, crunchy and very juicy texture due to its high water content. It is characterized by its mild pungency and its low level of pyruvic acid, far lower than that of storage onions, which makes it mild and easy to digest. It is especially prized in salads and for caramelizing without the need for added sugar, making it one of the favourite vegetables of chefs and children alike.
