Why visit Zaragoza?
Zaragoza delivers an authentic slice of Aragon without the overwhelming tourist crowds of Barcelona or Madrid. Straddling the Ebro River, this historic hub is dominated by the monumental Basilica de Nuestra Señora del Pilar, whose tiled domes and towers define the skyline. Just steps away, the Roman Caesaraugusta Forum Museum reveals excavated subterranean remains of the ancient colony founded by Augustus, while the Aljafería Palace showcases exquisite Mudéjar architecture through its intricate carved ceilings and tranquil orange-tree courtyards.
Beyond monuments, the city revolves around a dynamic culinary and social calendar. The Tubo district, a labyrinth of narrow lanes, bustles nightly as locals move between bars specializing in garlic-infused shrimp at Gambas La Basilica and robust cured ham. Traditional Aragonese dining shines at restaurants like Restaurante Abadía, where diners order ternasco de Aragón—tender milk-fed lamb—paired with a glass of robust Somontano red wine. For dessert, locals stop at Pastelería Fantoba for sweet adoquines del Pilar.
