Zaragoza – Rainer Schmitz explores the old town with Zuky

Zaragoza – a vibrant old town on the Ebro

Zaragoza, the capital of Aragón, lies on the Ebro River and boasts one of Spain’s most beautiful old towns. Here, history, culture and lively city life come together.

Experiencing the old town

The most impressive landmark is the Basilica del Pilar, with its towers and domes dominating the skyline right by the river. The Cathedral of La Seo also reflects the city’s rich history, blending Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque styles. Between these monuments, narrow streets and lively squares such as the Plaza del Pilar invite you to stroll and linger.

Historic charm meets modern life

Zaragoza blends past and present in a unique way. Roman ruins, Moorish influences and medieval architecture tell the city’s long story, while cafés, restaurants and street life give it a young and modern vibe.

Personal impression

Zuky and I felt very comfortable here. The old town of Zaragoza fascinated us – a wonderful mix of impressive monuments and cozy corners. For me, this city is one of the highlights of my journey through Spain.


Conclusion

Zaragoza is a city of contrasts: monumental yet lively. For anyone exploring Spain, the old town on the Ebro is a must. For Zuky and me, it was an experience we will not forget.
