Tarazona
A town where Jews, Muslims, and Christians have long coexisted, once host to the court of the Catholic Monarchs, its absorbing sights in an old upper town of Judería and Morería quarters.
Living in Tarazona
Tarazona is a historic town of 10,900 on the Río Queiles in the west of Zaragoza province, long a place where Jews, Muslims and Christians lived side by side — its atmospheric old upper town still keeps its Judería and Morería quarters and a former royal palace, now the bishop's residence. It's a mixed working town with a Moroccan community among a mostly Spanish population. The climate is continental — warm summers and cold winters. A hospital is about twenty-five minutes away, but Zaragoza is well over an hour, so it's a fairly self-contained town.

Numbers: Spainability town dataset, derived from INE, AEMET, Mitma and the Catastro. Registered long-let rent is SERPAVI declared-contract data; its p25–p75 values show the observed band. Registered-rent yield is gross, excludes costs and is never imputed. Percentile chips count only the municipalities that report the figure — the "of n" says how many. Region-ranked figures (PISA, surgical waits) compare Spain's 17 comunidades autónomas. A blank means no municipal-level figure is published — not a zero.
