The 7 Best Hidden Gems Things to do in Zaragoza, Aragon

June 2, 2021 Nicolette Lion

A rich blend of the historic and modern, Zaragoza sits on the banks of the Ebro River. Stroll in the center of town near San Miguel's pedestrian ways or around the Plaza de los Sitios, where you find boutiques, markets and souvenir shops. A center for gastronomy, Zaragoza offers food and drink for every budget and taste. But tapas is a must! In 2008, Zaragoza hosted the International Exhibition; the Water Tower, Bridge Pavilion and River Aquarium show off of the city's avant-garde architecture.

If you think that there is no way of enjoying a unique landscape in Europe without simultaneously having to share it with crowds around you, you will be gladly surprised to discover the Ebro River in Aragon (NE Spain). From the Castellar cliffs and castle to the Ribera Baja Goosnecks, a dramatic contrast between the arid “bardena” and the fluvial jungle remains barely known by the public, and therefore offers a great chance for those travelers looking for an intimate experience of Nature and its beautiful scenic views. More than 150 miles of mostly calmed waters give you the opportunity of choosing the branch of the Ebro you want to explore on the kayak, both in a half day trip or in a longer journey up to 1 week long. We will always try to share our knowledge and love to this river, the biggest in Spain regarding its average flow, but more importantly an extremely rich environment both regarding its ecological values and its historical heritage. We are happy to practice our English, Français, Italiano and of course Spanish while sharing the wonders hidden in the Ebro, from the amazing bird watching to the breathtaking sunset’s reflections on its waters, as well as all the unique panoramic views only enjoyable from inside the river. Guiding a trip means for us both guaranteeing your security as well as making sure you get the most of the fluvial experience, so we will try to help you understanding the landscape… and even listening to its whispers!-) Feeling tempted? Then you might be interested in Ryan Air flights to Zaragoza from Germany, UK, Italy… and the availability of the rural lodgings in the surroundings of our base in Cabañas de Ebro, at the heart of a pintoresque rural county just 30 minutes away from Zaragoza city. We offer a comprehensive service for groups, so we would receive you at Zaragoza’s Airport and bring you to a genuine experience of the river, its surroundings and its people. If you are lodged in Zaragoza, you might be interested in cruising down its monumental city center: paddling along “The Bridges of Zaragoza” will allow you to enjoy unique sights of its monuments as you have great fun splashing and maybe even swimming in the river!

Emoz

Unique Museum in Europe dedicated to the art of origami

Reviewed By GSAJ - Blenheim, New Zealand

This display in Spain is something to behold. The artists who made these exhibits must be very skilled. Very cheap admission price and well worth the time to visit in this central location.

Iglesia Parroquial de San Pablo Apostol

Architectural ensemble of Gothic-Mudejar style included by UNESCO on the World Heritage List. Built from the 13th c. to the 14th. c. and enlarged from the 15th c. to the 18th. The most outstanding elements of the ensemble are its octagonal Tower, the Door of Tramontana, the Altarpiece with Doors of the High Altar, the altarpiece of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, altarpiece of St. Catherine of Alexandria and the Choir with the Gothic Organ. Panoramic Views from the mudejar tower.

Reviewed By Susandyer - Frome, United Kingdom

Very interesting church. To go up the tower, you have to take the guided tour which is normally only in Spanish. However, on the day we went we were the only visitors and the guide did it in English for us. He was very informative and the tour lasted 1.5 hours.

Museo del Fuego y de los Bomberos

Reviewed By backpacker31 - Boynton Beach, United States

I’ve been a fan of fire engines and equipment alike since I was a child, so stumbling upon this specialty museum was a real treat, taking me back to my childhood. The collection of fire trucks and other vehicles is fantastic. The equipment and uniforms throughout the decades is wonderful to see - you can even try on some firefighter clothing! The basement houses an extensive collection of rescue equipment (fire extinguishers, pumpers, etc.) and uniforms (paramedic, smoke jumpers, water rescue, mountain rescue, helicopter rescue, etc.). Other exhibits include detailed dioramas, photos of extraordinary fires in Zaragoza, badges, hats and paraphernalia from around the world and more. The staff are absolutely welcoming, informative and engaging - all current or former members of the fire department. I was their last visitor in mid-March just prior to their closing due to the coronavirus pandemic. I hope they will safely reopen in the not-too-distant future so they can continue to welcome fire fighting fans from around the world.
