Frias

Frías, tucked along the Ebro River in northern Castile and León, is a place whose character is shaped by a steep rocky ridge above the valley. Often described as Spain’s smallest city, it received city status from King John II of Castile in 1435, a distinction that suits its commanding medieval presence. The Castle of the Dukes of Frías crowns the ridge, while the town’s hanging houses cling to its edge. Below, a Romanesque bridge across the Ebro recalls Frías’s position on historic routes through Burgos province.
