Huesca is notable for the saying "Tomorrow we'll have coffee in Huesca", a running joke among militiamen of the Spanish Civil War.
In February 1937, George Orwell was stationed near the falangist-held Huesca as a member of the POUM militia.
In Homage to Catalonia, Orwell writes about this running joke, originally a naïvely optimistic comment made by one of the Spanish Republican generals:
Months earlier, when Siétamo was taken, the general commanding the Government troops had said gaily: "Tomorrow we'll have coffee in Huesca."
It turned out that he was mistaken.
There had been bloody attacks, but the town did not fall, and [the phrase] had become a standing joke throughout the army.
If I ever go back to Spain I shall make a point of having a cup of coffee in Huesca.

Huesca is also famous for the legend of the Bell of Huesca.
