Holiday In Zaragoza

If you’re craving a luxey getaway with layers of history and without queues of tourists, check out our holidays to Zaragoza, Spain. Don’t be fooled by the rolling Ebro River or centuries-old architecture—this city is a party animal.

Get down old school—like, really old school—at a medieval palace, check out unique museums and hit the baller bar scene for drinks and tapas with new friends. Take home a piece of Spain from the colourful markets or just eat your weight in seafood from the nearby coastline—or do both! Score some sweet Zaragoza package deals from lastminute.com.au and get ready to relax in style in Spain’s lush Basque Country. We could even say “bask in style”, but you get the idea.

Things to Do in Zaragoza

Start your Zaragoza holiday at the iconic Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar. The name is quite a mouthful and this enormous 18th-century church may be showing some wear, but it’s Baroque, not broke. Ba-zing! Located directly south of the river, the basilica is within walking distance of other popular sights, like the Casa Museo de Goya. No one could hold a candle to Francisco Goya’s artistic genius, except for himself (around his hat)! Ba-zing again!

When you want to leave the chapels and galleries for some fresh air on the Ebro River, paddle a kayak through the city. Those life vests look good on everyone, don’t they? When your arms are tired of rowing, hop out near the Plaza Pzeuropa and clean up quick, because you’ll be right next to the Palacio de la Aljaferia—the residence of royals since the 11th century. It’s seen a few dynasty changes—no big deal—but don’t worry your holidays in Zaragoza were gonna be drama-free.

Shopping, Dining & Nightlife

Fill up on local treasures at the Mercado Central, a covered collection of food and produce stalls and small necessities. Go ahead and graze your way through the fresh fruit before heading out to Puerto Venecia, a sprawling shopping centre right along the canal. Take home some Spanish fashions that will make your friends back home totally jelly.

When you’re feeling peckish, get your pinchers around some pintxos. As the Basque answer to southern Spain’s tapas, these easy-to-eat finger foods are named for the small stakes that hold savoury toppings, like mushrooms, veggies, seafood and meat to the toasty slices of bread. Eat them alone or at the start of a meal. Or just whenever you want, because you’re on holiday.

Zaragoza has more bars per capita than any other city in Spain, so wherever you go, you can easily get a drink in your hand and a sway in your hips. With so many venues to choose from, you can narrow your choices by music genre—house music and sangria, anyone?
