This itinerary starts off in New Castile, traverses Aragón and winds up in Barcelona, the sophisticated, seaside capital of Catalonia. Most of the route, as its name suggests, takes you to areas not so commonly frequented by foreign tourists. It heads east through New Castile, which holds in store the beautifully rugged Cuenca Range and Cuenca, one of Spain's most enchanting medieval towns, famous for its "hanging houses." Then the route continues on to Aragón. The final stop, Barcelona, provides considerable contrast.
