At a time when depopulation continues to empty the rural map, some Aragonese localities have decided to step forward to attract new neighbors. They do it offering more than silence and landscapes: they talk about affordable rentals, local employment, fiber optics, health services and even municipal swimming pool. For many, it can be the door to a quieter life, with more time and less hurry.
The “Come live in a town” platform is the one who publishes these initiatives. It is a national project that connects people interested in moving to the rural environment with municipalities that offer real opportunities for housing, work and quality of life. The web collects updated data on services, rental or purchase prices, registered aids and connections available in each locality. In this showcase for the rural future, a small Zaragozano municipality of just over 500 inhabitants appears, located on the banks of the Ebro and only 58 kilometers from Saragossa.
