44 Most Underrated Cities You Should Visit In Spain
36. Barbastro, Aragón: Wine Country with Soul
In the heart of the Somontano wine region, Barbastro is a sensory experience waiting to happen. This small city pairs Gothic architecture with bold reds and floral whites. The 16th-century cathedral dominates the skyline, but the real treat is underground—tasting rooms inside stone wine cellars. You’ll find some of Spain’s most innovative winemakers here, blending tradition with modern flair. Nearby canyons and medieval villages provide excellent day-trip options. For oenophiles and nature seekers alike, Barbastro is the soulful, slower cousin to La Rioja—and far less commercial.
