Toponimia en el Camino de Santiago
a su paso por Aragón

The Way of Saint James in Aragon offers several itineraries with different origins. One of them is the so-called Catalan Way, which has its starting point in the monastery of Montserrat. In this paper we are going to deal with this route as it passes through the Aragon region. Within the framework of the macro-project Toponomasticon Hispaniae, we will analyse some of the place names found along the two routes into which this Jacobean Way forks (Tamarit de Llitera, Berbegal, Pueyo de Fañanás, Bolea, Fraga, Candasnos, Bujaraloz or Pina de Ebro, among others).
