Cuarte de Huerva is located just a few kilometres south of Zaragoza in the Aragon region and is one of Spain's fastest-growing municipalities. Originally a small village, it has transformed into a modern residential town, attracting many families who work in the nearby capital. Its name derives from the Latin 'quartus', referring to the fourth milestone on the old Roman road from Zaragoza to Valencia. The Huerva river runs through the town, adding a touch of nature. Although primarily a residential area, there are historical traces such as the 18th-century Santa Cruz church. Cuarte de Huerva is not a typical tourist destination but serves as an excellent base for exploring Zaragoza and its rich history and culture without staying in the bustle of the big city. The town has modern infrastructure, parks, and sports facilities. The gastronomy is typically Aragonese, known for hearty meat dishes, especially lamb (Ternasco de Aragón), and local wines. The easiest way to get there is by car or bus from Zaragoza, which has an international airport and high-speed train connections.
