Zaragoza Travel Guide

 Belsaita Says:  When in Zaragoza, some of my "must do" would be (in no particular order):- Palacio de la Aljaferia- La Seo- La Lonja (between La Seo and El Pilar, but most visitors do miss this beautiful example of civil Gothic architecture)- Palacio de Sástago (usually it has good... 

 DSwede Says:  Zaragoza is a city of 800,000 people. Obviously with that and a large university in the city, there will be countless neighborhoods and places to entertain you through the nights.The city is large enough that there is something everyday of the week. That "something" is not... 

 DSwede Says:  I went to Zaragoza a couple of random weekends, including the Fiesta del Pilar.I came from Tarragona by car. Finding parking on the other visits was no problem. However, even during the Festival weekend, parking was not impossible. Just allow yourself a bit extra time to... 

 DSwede Says:  October 12... the focal point of two holidays.October 12 is a national holiday in Spain, honoring Colon (aka Columbus).But also, that date is the major fiesta honoring the Virgin Pilar, the patron saint of Zaragoza.Add the two together and you have all the right ingredients...

 into-thin-air Says:  This was our penultimate day and according to Mundicamino this should have been a 19k day and I would say that was about right.The route took us along quiet roads and paths with a nice stop after 7k at Fuentes de Ebro for an early lunch before walking the remaining 12k to... 

 into-thin-air Says:  According to Mundicamino this should have been a 34k day with nothing in-between Bujaraloz and Pina de Ebro. Buth we both agreed that the actual distance was much further and think that 38k is still a conservative estimate.The route is slightly mainly on dirt tracks, the... 

 into-thin-air Says:  According to Mundicamino this was about 20k which felt about right, a lovely days walking with one small town half way, Penalba, so an ideal lunch stop.Another undulating day, mainly on dirt tracks never straying too far away from the A2 

 into-thin-air Says:  Unfortunately Frago was a far as out Excellent Guidebook took us so we were now entirely reliant on the way markings backed up by strip maps printed off Mundicamino.According to this we had about 24k’s walking but it seamed a little longer, Leaving Fraga we had quite a hill... 

 into-thin-air Says:  This was a fairly long day at 33.2k so we had an early start and ended up missing a way-marker so were slightly off route leaving Lleida, however we soon picked up the “Way” again at Butsenit. From there the route continues to Alcarras on a mixture of minor roads and paths,... 

 into-thin-air Says:  Alas this was Birgit’s last day, we had deliberately planned a short day of 15k to allow us time to explore Lleida and as it is a very interesting city with a Wonderful Citadel we were very pleased we had allowed time for this.The route undulates and weaves its way into... 

 into-thin-air Says:  The route continues on through fairly flat agricultural land, mainly on minor roads and only passing through one village, el Palau d’Anglesola, this after 8k so making it a handy early lunch stop.Total disatnce for the day 17.5k and a very pleasant days walking 

 into-thin-air Says:  Another wonderful days walking, mainly on minor roads through agricultural land and predominantly flat.Choices of coffee stops for the first 5k and then nothing for the next 10k so be prepared for that ;-)As mentioned in my introduction, Castellnou de Seana was probably our...
