Information
Its houses and cobbled streets are the most distinctive image of the village. Sos also has a wall with seven gates and a castle, a legacy of when it was a border town between the kingdoms of Aragon and Navarre. Nor should you miss the Casa de la Villa (a sixteenth-century Renaissance building), the hermitage of Santa Lucia (late twelfth century), the Isidoro Gil de Jaz school (eighteenth century) and the Jewish quarter, now known as the upper quarter.
Environment
Highlights of its surroundings include the monastery of Leyre, one of the most important monastic complexes in Spain, of Javier and Uncastillo castle, a perfectly preserved example of rural architecture in the Cinco Villas, which has been declared a Historic-Artistic Site.
One of the best times to visit Sos is March, when they celebrate the birth of King Ferdinand the Catholic.
You can enjoy the town decked out in its finest, historical re-enactments, concerts, theatrical performances and a Medieval market.
They also celebrate San Sebastian Bonfires on 20 January, and a Medieval fair in the first weekend of August.
