2. Route Aguarales de Valdemilaz
Legend says that the famous Aragonese noble prize winner and one of the best scientists in the history of Spain, Don Santiago Ramón y Cajal, ran in the streets of Valpalmas when he was a child. And they say that during that period he didn’t like to study and his father, upset, forced him to work as a shoemaker and barber apprentice. Something happened though that made him change and become a great scholar, which, together with his barber skills, also helped him become a specialist in dissecting tissue to later observe it under the microscope. If you want to learn more interesting facts do not hesitate to visit the Ramón y Cajal Cultural Centre in Valpalmas.
