Ortega is a region of Prasia, located on the south coast of Prasian Island. It is bordered by Catarina and Valderejo to the north and San Luis to the east. Whilst it is the third largest region by area, it has the largest population of any of the country's regions. Adahuesca is the capital of the region and other settlements in the region include Montellano.
Ortega is known for its diverse geography, ranging from the beaches of the southern coast to the mountainous areas of the north of the region, many of which are part of Sierra Jarosa National Park.
Etymology[]
Ortega's name originates from Felipe Ortega Campillo, a Spanish military general and politician, who in 1572 led a group of settlers to the region. Felipe Ortega was also influential in the foundation of Adahuesca in 1580.
