Zaragoza: Guide
Zaragoza is a city in Aragon, a region of Spain.
Get in
Zaragoza is conveniently located midway between Madrid and Barcelona. In peoples' haste to see the big cities, this gem is often passed without so much as a second look. Zaragoza is easily reached.
By train
You can get by frequent trains from both of Spain's major international airports in Barcelona and Madrid. Zaragoza is served by a high speed train line that reaches Madrid in ~1.5-2 hours and Barcelona in ~3-3.5 hours. There are up to 8 trains a day in each direction.
By Bus
You can reach Zaragoza either from Madrid or Barcelona in 3:45 hours. The coach company is Alsa () and the single ticket costs around 13 euros (Nov 06).
It is also well communicated with other main capital cities, such as Valencia and Bilbao.
By plane
Zaragoza has its own airport, Ryanair are one of the main carriers here. You can travel from the airport to the city centre via a local bus service, it costs around 1.70Eur. Buses coincide with aeroplane arrivals, and will take you to the city centre via the football ground and university. Alternatively a taxi will cost around 15-20Eur and take approx 20mins.
Get around
I would recommed buying a bus "punch card" in order to get around in Zaragoza. These can be bought at any tobacco store. The city is small enough that the bus system is very easy to learn and it provides a cheap way to get from point at to point be. Another plus to the buses is that most of them come at either 5 or 10 minute intervals.
If the bus is out of the question and your feet are much too tired to walk, there are always plenty of taxis waiting to take you where you want to go. You need not worry about the taxistas charging more than they ought to. Zaragoza is known for very honest people. Still, it will cost quite a lot more than the trusty bus.

Catedral de la Seo A gothic style cathedral.
Palacio de la Aljaferia Moorish castle with intricate decorations including ceilings of gold.
Las Murallas Parts of the ancient wall that surrounded the city are still standing.
You can get food from any part of the world in Zaragoza but make sure you try some specifically real Spanish food and from the region.
The most famous dishes like in other places from Spain are the tapas, little appetizers that are often served at bars and small cafes before a main meal. Make sure to visit "El Casco Viejo" and its numerous places to have tapas.
Some of the best known regional specialities are: Bacalao al Ajoarriero, cod-fish with garlic and eggs, Huevos al Salmorejo, eggs with a sauce of asparagus, Longanizas y Chorizos, highly appreciated kinds of sausages, Ternasco Asado, roasted young lamb, Pollo al Chilindrón, chicken in a sauce of cured ham, tomatoes, onions and paprika, Cordero a la Pastora, lamb Sheppard's style, Lomo de Cerdo a la Zaragozana, cutlet, Migas a la Aragonesa, a dish made of crumbs scrambled with and egg and chorizo.People even eat rabbits stewed in rabbit blood. Meat is very popular. Also, bread is a basic element of meals.
Make sure you try borrajas, a vegetable which can only be found in Aragon. It is usually eaten with olive oil.
Melocoton con vino, peaches in wine, is also a good option, though sometimes it is hard to find a restaurant serving this dessert.
La Tertulia Taurina. is a traditional castellano-aragones cuisine restaurant located in the old part of the city amongst the charismatic and multicultural Plaza del Portillo and the splendid bullfighting arena, Plaza de Toros de la Misericordia. Slow Food with great selection of meats. Menu of the day €12 (local wine and desserts included) or à la carte for around €36. Address: C/ Pignatelli 122.
