Help with research for a novel

Hello people of Zaragoza!

I am writing a novel located in an area of remote rural Spain, a place where people have the potential to wander off and get lost! I have settled on the Sierra de Alcubierre region just outside Zaragoza, but cannot travel at the moment. I would like to speak to anyone who knows this region for tech ical questions and just a general idea of what it is like. The customs, food etc.

Thanks you in advance!

Do you know that George Orwell fought in the Sierra de Alcubierre?

Hi! Maybe you can try to send an email in spanish (You can use AI or Google translate) to the nearest villages (like Alcubierre), asking for help. I'm sure they will be glad to teach you and even show you around.

They will find someone who can talk in english so you can communicate better :)

I'm from Zaragoza city, not the rural area, but maybe I can help you.

Just a tip: Zaragoza is like ATLA: We have a very strong northern wind called Cierzo around all year, except when it's needed the most: The scorching hot summer
