Read moreRead less

Frías is a historic medieval town on a hill above the river Ebro, and has been a strategic point to cross the river on routes leading to the Cantabrian Sea. Today the town is a popular tourist spot. It has an impressive castle dominating the river and the twelfth-century bridge across it. It is considered to be the smallest "city" in Spain, having been given that title in 1435.

There are two convents and two churches in the town. The gothic church of San Vitores is particularly worth visiting.
