Zaragoza is a lively city on the Ebro River, where mornings smell of coffee and guitars play in the evenings. It is one of the five largest in Spain and retains the name of Caesaraugus, given to him by Emperor Augustus.
Start the day in the Grand Park of José Antonio Labordetta: wide alleys, fountain and shade for a leisurely start. Next is the Alhaferia Palace, an elegant eleventh-century fortress with shimmering arcades. For contrast — KaishaForum and the Pablo Serrano Institute of Contemporary Art: several bright halls and a panorama of the city from the roof.
The outlines of Zaragoza are best felt on Pilar Square: the majestic Basilica of the Blessed Virgin on the Pillar, near the Stone Bridge and the restrained beauty of La Seo — the Cathedral of the Savior. Peer underground at the Forum Museum of Caesaravgusta to see Roman streets and shops.
Taste of the day: a plate of migas at La Miguería, then tapas at Los Victorinos and a light dinner at Meli-Melo.
The route is compact but generous in impressions: greenery, Moorish patterns, Roman layers, art and tastes within one walk. Grab comfortable shoes — Zaragoza loves those who open it step by step.
