Zaragoza



Hi everyone!

Zaragoza is one of Spain's major cities. The capital of the Region of Aragon is located on the banks of the Ebro River, halfway between Madrid and Barcelona. There are many reasons to visit this wonderful destination!

스페인 북동부 아라곤지방에 있는 에브로강 남쪽 강변에 자리잡고 있는 사라고사는 로마 아우구스투스황제시절에 도시가 건설된 이래로 에브로강의 풍부한 수량에 의해서 번성한 도시이다. 사라고사 도심은 에브로강 남쪽에 대성당과 필라광장(Plaza del Pilar)을 중심으로 형성되어 있다. 18~19세기에 완료된 것으로 보이는 바로크양식의 대성당이 도시의 중심이 되고, 대성당 옆으로 사라고사 시청을 비롯한 공공기관들이 들어서 있다.

2,000 years of history. You will find a stunning legacy 
of monuments in the streets of the city, vestiges of the Roman, Moorish, Jewish and Christian communities who left their mark on the place: Roman ruins such as the Circus; Aljafería Palace; Mudejar-style churches, with the UNESCO World Heritage designation; Baroque gems like the Pilar Basilica; the work of brilliant artist Fancisco de Goya...  So, If you like art, then Zaragoza is the perfect destination for you!.


About leisure: enjoy a variety of activities. Theatres, cinemas, exhibitions, concerts, festivals, fairs... In Zaragoza  an spectacular year-round cultural programme awaits you. The cultural life of the city is intense. See for yourself in the city streets or at venues like the Auditorium, the Principal Theatre or the Aragon Conference Centre. You can find all the different artistic styles in this city.

Enjoy delicious gastronomy on Zaragoza! You can't  leave the city without  going out for Tapas, is very very tipical.
To start off your tapas crawl, head over to the area known as "el Casco" which is basically the old part of town.  Turn off the busy shopping street of Don Jaime and go up Calle Mayor and tapas bars start appearing everywhere.  Find your way to Santa Marta Square or San Miguel Square, where you will find two plazas packed with bars and bustling terraces full with people. For some of the best and most famous bars, wander your way through the maze of narrow streets and take it all in as you come across bar after bar, where one drink turns into another and each favourite takes the place of the other. You will find yourself doing as they do and loving every last minute of it..
