In 1063 the Aragonese conquer Barbastro from Al-Muqtadir, lord of Zaragoza. Although they found great wealth in the city, the Christians did not recover a chest that they had been following from Zaragoza, and that contained the payment of tributes to the King of Lérida: 50,000 gold coins.
Ramiro I, and then, one-by-one, all the Aragonese queens, chase the treasure through the pre-Pyrenees region: Barbastro, Alquéar, Bolea, Loarre, Huesca, Sos del Rey Católico and Uncastillo are thoroughly searched. Will you accept the challenge?
