Zaragoza Province

An Aragonese heartland on the Ebro River, where pilgrimage cathedrals, Mudéjar architecture, and a canyon monastery coexist.

Zaragoza Province is located in northeastern Spain, with the Ebro River running through it, situated between Madrid and Barcelona. The capital, Zaragoza, features the Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar as its landmark, while the Aljafería Palace and the Cathedral of the Savior (La Seo) showcase Mudéjar architecture; the Goya Museum, Roman Theatre ruins, and the tapas alley El Tubo are also well worth a visit. Within the province, the Monasterio de Piedra Natural Park is famous for its waterfalls, and the ruins of Belchite Old Town preserve traces of the Civil War. Spring and autumn are best, with the Fiestas del Pilar in October. The gateway is Zaragoza's high-speed railway station, with direct trains from both Madrid and Barcelona.
