The most beautiful towns in Zaragoza

In the northeast of Spain, in the autonomous community of Aragon, we find Saragossa, a province that is much more than its capital. And it is that here you can enjoy numerous tourist, cultural, gastronomic and leisure attractions. For example, thanks to the fact that the Ebro river runs through it, it houses a very diverse landscape, highlighting the Dehesa de Moncayo Natural Park and the Bardenas World Biosphere Reserve. In the cultural field, we highlight examples of Romanesque, Cistercian, Mudejar and Sephardic art.
