Petilla de Aragón is a town and municipality of the autonomous community of Navarre, northern Spain. The municipality itself is formed by two enclaves (Petilla de Aragón itself and Los Bastanes) that are entirely surrounded by the neighboring autonomous community of Aragon.
The town is the birthplace of the famous scientist Santiago Ramón y Cajal. Petilla terminology, a neurological nomenclature, is named after the town.[1]
