We LOVED Zaragoza! Your city is so beautiful! The Basilica, La Seo, El Tubo, the Cristal Museum, the pedestrian streets, the food, and sunset photos of the Basilica...and more! We were in heaven. We're such big fans, thanks to your wonderful videos, Tony and Cecilia. We also followed your road trip through La Rioja (stayed in Elciego). We even saw Los Picaos de San Vicente de la Sonsierra. That was something to witness for sure. Muchas gracias for helping to make our five weeks in northern Spain just perfecto!

Dear Kay, we are delighted to hear you had such a great time in our hometown (and also in La Rioja). We hope to see you back in Spain soon! All the best!

[@gladysj1]

I am planning to go to Spain and visit Zaragoza in Dec 2024, I think it is a beautiful city. I am planning and so much looking forward to visit many other cities that are not the well-known and so touristics ones in Spain but not less beautiful and with so much to offer.

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Hope you'll have a great time in Zaragoza!

[@eugeneh.2007]

Tony, through his videos, always shares clear, descriptive information concerning the topic at hand. As expats living in Spain, we have repeatedly benefitted from his careful, thorough presentations. His video service is a real help for anyone wanting to learn more about a host of topics connected with visiting or living in Spain. Well done!

Hola Tony! Just returned to the US from 2 weeks of driving around Spain and Portugal and thanks to your knowledge and guidance, we had a great time! We knew we wanted to see the Basque Country and the north and west of Spain, but you convinced us to spend time in Zaragoza! Fabulous! It was walkable, interesting, varied and beautiful! Without you, we would have missed it.

[@xHaru6x]

I loved the video! Very well explained and beautiful images. I want to give a note, in Zaragoza there are many museums and some are free, one of them is in La plaza de los Sitios, near to the Paseo de la Independencia. And the food is delicious, if you want to eat something typical there are the migas, the ternasco, the borraja and for sweets there are the marinos, the adoquines and stones of Pilar, etc. Me ha encantado el vídeo! Muy bien explicado y las imágenes preciosas. Quiero dar un apunte, en Zaragoza hay muchos museos y algunos son gratuitos, uno de ellos es el de la Plaza de los Sitios muy cerca del paseo independencia. Y la comida es deliciosa, si quieren comer algo típico están las migas, el ternasco, la borraja y de dulces están los marinos, los adoquines y piedras del Pilar, etc. Un saludo de un mañico!!

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Muchas gracias, Haru. Yes, we need to record a video on typical dishes, like the one we've done on typical tapas from Zaragoza. We haven't mentioned the Museo Provincial as it is going to be closed for a long time. All the best to you!

Hello Tony and Cecilia! My husband and I love watching all your videos about Spain. We actually planned a visit to Zaragoza based on your advice. We have been looking for information on the use of public transportation in Zaragoza without much luck. Could you please provide some info on how to best see the city using public transportation? Thank you!

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Hi Monica, unless you stay several days in Zaragoza, you won't be using public transportation, just to get from the station to your hotel. You will walk everywhere. Hour self-guided tour of Zaragoza is a walking tour. For the occasional user, buy your bus ticket from the driver or your tram ticket from the machines at all stations.

[@PeterWaterfall]

Hi Tony Thank you for your videos on Spain and Portugal. Partly on your recommendation, earlier this month, we broke our train journey between Siguenza and Lleida for a few hours in Zaragoza. What had been a rainy day turned beautifully sunny as we arrived at Delicias. We left our bags at the left luggage - it’s in the bus station at Delicias - and walked to the AlJaferia palace, being the nearest monument (about 20 mins) Well worth a visit, and, as you say, up there with the Alcazar in Seville, Alcazaba in Malaga and the Generalife in Granada although not quite as vast at the latter. We liked the idea that part of the building was still in use as the Cortes of Aragon. Indeed was saw some of the Deputies having a ‘smoko’ in the courtyard! Being shoulder season we got into the palace without prebooking with no difficulty. The palace closes for the afternoon at 2pm so we walked back to the station for a snack before our onwards train. It started raining again just as we got to the station! One thing that was disappointing was the state of the park area between Avenida del Soria and Calle de Lago. What was clearly intended to be a pleasant landscape area has been left to deteriorate and is now threadbare. What must have been a similar smaller public space on the city side of Av Soria, has graffiti bemoaning its neglect and the use of that neglect to justify selling the area off for development. Hopefully the larger park will be restored and avoid being built over. Best wishes Peter

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Dear Peter, many thanks for you feedback on your quick stop in Zaragoza. We're delighted to hear you liked the Aljafería. As for the park you mention, it's not a traditional park in the city and that's why it's probably in a state of neglect, which is obviously unforgivable. All the best to you!

[@glennlewis8141]

I’m from the UK, and I’ll be honest, other than knowing they had a football team, I knew nothing else, and would never think to visit. However, now, my wife’s parents have moved from Barcelona to Za Ra Go Za and so I get to visit more. And I love it! More videos please! And definitely about la comida 😂😂

Hola Tony & Cecilia, trust you are well. I’m contemplating visiting Zaragoza on 20 March 24 - that’s 2 days before the start of the Easter events on 22 March. 2024. My question is will visits to La Seo & El Pilar be affected/ closed on 20/3 in preparation for the Easter events ? Additionally, a visit to La Aljaferia : can I assume full access is available from 10:00-14:00/16:00-18:30 (as per website). Reason for this question is that the building houses government offices. Warm regards Amy

[@ROADTRIPSpainandPortugal]

Hi Amy, we're well, thank you. As you correctly researched, Easter events won't have any impact on life in Zaragoza on the dates of your intented trip. Evertyhing working as usual.

It's definitely a city that I'd live in if I wasn't alone. Otherwise it's too much pro my ex husband people, but it has great life quality in every good way. Have to be more about trains than planes, because the airport has very few important international flights, and have to take high speed rail to Barcelona or Madrid.. It's funny to hear people of Zaragoza complain about their weather. However they do have a very good hydraulic plan for Aragon, agriculture of Aragon. It always feels very safe and peaceful, but definitely if want fun times, they've got plenty of that too. Are always focused on increasing excellence in gastronomy, and also pride themselves in good taste in clothing and accessories, men women and OMG for children, and home decor. They try hard, and definitely have excellent tailors for men, like Gazo. Are very much merchants, and always try to have the best quality and whatever is new trending.

[@fredcookerly9385]

A video on the food of Zaragoza would be awesome. We split a week this spring between Salamanca and Zaragoza (shout out to your video on hotels in Zaragoza). And while Salamanca has possibly one of the greatest casco viejos in all of Spain, we struggled to find great food there. Maybe it was just bad luck. However, EVERYTHING we had in Zaragoza was fantastic. After watching this video, I see we will have to return to spend more time in the city.

One detail to keep in mind regarding the aljaferia is that you need reservations. Naive me tried to go today at 6pm but i couldn’t get in because there were no reservations. Bueno, hasta nunca.

Never ever we had problems entering the Aljafería without prior reservation, and I can tell you we've been there umpteenth times. But if you plan on going approaching the closing time a prior reservation might be a good idea.
