The area of modern-day Aragón corresponds to the medieval Kingdom of Aragón which existed from 1035 to 1707. Its capital is the city of Zaragoza. The region is divided into three provinces namely Huesca, Zaragoza and Teruel. Aragón has a population of 1.3 million people, with half of that living in Zaragoza. A sparsely populated region, Aragón is mountainous, with deep valleys and canyons between snow-capped peaks.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
