Ajón

Ajón is a fictional municipality and village created for illustrative purposes in this article.

Geographically, Ajón is situated on a gentle plateau with a temperate climate and a network of small streams. It covers about 22 square kilometers at an elevation near 520 meters. The Ajón River flows through the eastern valley, supporting fertile fields.

The first documented mention of Ajón dates to the 13th century, with the remains of a medieval fortification and a late Gothic church indicating historic continuity.

As of the 2020 census, the population was around 1,200. The community has experienced rural depopulation in recent decades. The local economy relies on agriculture—wheat, barley, and olives—and on small-scale crafts; some residents commute to nearby towns for work.

Ajón hosts an annual harvest festival in September, with regional music, food stalls, and a traditional dance. Notable landmarks include the Church of Santa Lucia, the stone Puente de Piedra bridge, and a hilltop lookout that offers views of the valley.

Public services include a primary school, a small health clinic, and a municipal library. The town is linked mainly by regional roads; there is no railway connection.
