ZARAGOZA TRAVEL GUIDE: How to Feel, Eat and Live the Aragonese Capital Where the Ebro Runs Through History
About this audiobook
Zaragoza sits at the center of Spain the way a heart sits in a chest — not at the edges where things are most visible, but at the middle where the circulation actually happens. The Ebro River, the longest river entirely within Spain, has flowed through this city for two thousand years, and on its banks the Romans, the Moors, and the medieval Christian kingdom of Aragón each left monuments of extraordinary quality that most visitors to Spain never reach.
In this complete travel guide, Sofía Kristiansen takes you through every dimension of this underestimated city: the Basílica del Pilar rising from the riverbank with its eleven tiled domes, the Aljafería — an eleventh-century Islamic palace whose interlocking arches rival anything in Granada, the mudéjar towers of La Seo and San Pablo that earned the region a UNESCO designation, the tapas bars of El Tubo, the cuisine of the Ebro valley and the Pyrenean foothills, and the remarkable interior of Aragón that surrounds it. Zaragoza is the city you tell people about and they nod politely — until they visit, and they understand.
