The town of Belorado was linked to an ancient medieval castle that controlled the passage through the Ebro valley (valle del Ebro), for this reason it is known as a strategic place. An interesting fact in the history of Belorado is that it was the first place in Spain to hold a fair. This event took place in 1116 and the approval was given by King Alfonso I of Aragon. The village of Belorado is of Caltiberian origin and is for many one of the main stops on the French Camino.
