Trasmoz is a village in the province of Zaragoza, in the autonomous community of Aragon, Spain. It has an estimated population of 96.
Trasmoz is located in the Moncayo region of Zaragoza province, in northeastern Spain. The village sits on the slopes of the Moncayo massif, the highest peak in the Iberian System, which lies between the provinces of Zaragoza and Soria. The surrounding area is characterized by a Mediterranean climate with continental influences, with hot summers and cold winters.
Trasmoz is known for its historical association with witchcraft and magic. It is the only village in Spain that has been officially excommunicated by the Catholic Church, a status that has never been revoked. According to local legend, the village was cursed by the Archbishop of Tarazona in the 13th century after residents refused to pay tithes to the nearby Monastery of Veruela. The village's reputation for sorcery was later popularized by the 19th-century Spanish writer Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer, who wrote about it in his work "Letters from My Cell." Today, Trasmoz maintains this legacy through its annual witchcraft festival and its small witchcraft museum.
