Auts ((:ˈawts)) is a small mountain range west of the Ebro river in the Bajo Aragón-Caspe/Baix Aragó-Casp comarca, Aragon, Spain. It is located about 9 km north of Fayón (Faió), close to the road between Maella and Mequinenza (Mequinensa).〔(Map of the Area )〕 The ridge's highest point is Alt dels Auts ((スペイン語:Alto de los Auts)), a 434 m high summit. The Auts are desolate-looking limestone mountains, smooth, with low and scruffy vegetation and numerous denuded patches. In some documents in the Spanish language, these hills appear under the name ''Sierra de Mequinenza'', but they are actually not a proper "sierra".〔(Caspe y el Bajo Aragón )〕 ==Origin of the name== The name "Auts" comes most likely from an ancient Catalan word for "heights", ''"alts"'' in modern Catalan. Referring to hills this name appears, for example, in Ramon Llull's following text: ''«Los cavaliers veem que fant castells i forces en los auts munts, per tal que si son vensuts ni sobrats en los píans, que fugen en los munts»''.〔Ramon Llull, ''Llibre de Conlemplacló en Déu'', 112, 22.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Auts」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
