Private tours in Zaragoza

Zaragoza has been Roman Caesaraugusta, Muslim Saraqusta and Christian capital of Aragón, and all three are still legible in the streets. It sits halfway between Madrid and Barcelona, which means most people pass it at 300 km/h without stopping. Tour Travel & More organises 100% private tours of Zaragoza with a licensed official tour guide, a luxury vehicle with chauffeur and a travel coordinator available 24/7.

The Pilar and the old town on foot

The Basilica del Pilar stands on the spot where tradition says the Virgin appeared to Saint James, and two of the bombs dropped on it during the Civil War failed to explode — they are still on display inside. Goya painted one of its domes. Next door, La Seo mixes Mudéjar brickwork, Gothic and baroque in the same building, and El Tubo behind them is where the city goes for tapas.

The Aljafería and Mudéjar Aragón

The Aljafería is an eleventh-century Moorish palace, later a royal residence and now the regional parliament, and its interlacing arches are the best surviving Islamic architecture in northern Spain. Mudéjar Aragón — brick and glazed tile towers — is UNESCO-listed and starts right here.

Halfway between everything

Zaragoza is ninety minutes from Madrid and the same from Barcelona by high-speed train, which makes it the easiest stop to add to a trip between them. The Monasterio de Piedra with its waterfalls, and the wine towns of Cariñena, are an hour away by road.
