Tour description
Halfway between Madrid and Barcelona, Zaragoza is one of Spain's great undiscovered cities, layering Roman, Moorish, Jewish and Christian history along the banks of the mighty Ebro river. On this walking tour a local guide reveals a capital that has been continuously important for two thousand years yet remains wonderfully free of crowds.
You will stand before the immense baroque Basilica del Pilar reflected in the river, trace the walls of Roman Caesaraugusta, and admire the exquisite Moorish Aljafería palace. Add the buzzing tapas quarter of El Tubo and the warm, unpretentious spirit of the Aragonese, and Zaragoza quickly wins you over.
