Included in the list of the Most Beautiful Villages of Spain 🌟, Ujué is a medieval village nestled in the mountains 🏞️, dominating the eastern mid-region of Navarra. From the Pyrenean range to the Ebro riverbank, with a view of Moncayo to the south 🏔️, it can be seen from its vantage point 🔭. One of its main attractions is the Sanctuary of Santa María La Real de Ujué ⛪, built on an 11th-century Romanesque church by order of Sancho Ramírez.

Walking through the cobbled streets of the town 🚶‍♂️ is like traveling back in time to the Middle Ages ⏳, with its clustered small and old houses arranged around the church as if to protect it 🏘️. The Hermitage of the Virgin of La Blanca, from the 13th century, is another gem to visit 🕍, along with the Cruz del Saludo and the ruins of the Church of San Miguel. On the other hand, if there's one thing to enjoy in this village, it's the cuisine 🍽️, with special mention of its renowned migas del pastor, a dish with history 🍲.
