Mountain hamlet
Trasmoz is a village in the province of Zaragoza, Aragon, Spain, with an estimated population of 96.
The town has given rise to numerous legends about witches and sabbaths, some of which were recreated by the romantic writer Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer. It is the only Spanish town officially cursed and excommunicated by the Catholic Church. The excommunication has never been revoked.
Trasmoz is a town steeped in witchcraft. Each year, a citizen is awarded with the distinction "Bruja del Año" (Witch of the year) in recognition of the services for the community. White commemorative plaques are installed on the front door of the awarded person's house.
