Zaragoza, Spain
Zaragoza,
capital city of the region of Aragon, in Spain, is one of the main cities of
the country.
Blessed
with a rich historical, monumental and cultural legacy, it was once the capital
of a territory that nowadays represents about the half of Spain.
Its
location within the current boundaries of the region of Aragon (and of the
whole north of Spain) makes it a privileged and unique municipality, both in
terms of economic strength and as a tourist destination. Zaragoza is within
equal distances from the nation's capital city, Madrid, from the Mediterranean
coast - with cities such as Barcelona and Valencia -, and from Bilbao (Atlantic
Ocean, including ferry-boats to the UK and France). The region limits with
France to the North and it only takes about 2 hours to drive from Zaragoza to
the heart of the Aragonese Pyrenees -in the province of Huesca-, considered by
many to hold the most beautiful and breathtaking scenarios in the whole
mountain range, in addition to presenting varied tourist options to its
visitors, including several ski resorts.
To the
South of Zaragoza is the province of Teruel, home to several sites with
historic / artistic heritage that have been designated as "World
Heritage" by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization), specifically an extraordinary form of architecture, called
"Mudejar", comprised of a unique mixture of Muslim, Jewish and
Christian traits, from the time when these three cultures co-existed in Aragon.
(Note that also a natural reserve in the aforementioned Pyrenees, namely, the
National Park of Ordesa and Monte Perdido - Mont Perdu, or "The Lost
Mountain" -, has been designated as "World Heritage").
Zaragoza is
also a main religious destination. Two medieval cathedrals dominate the square
known as the "Plaza del Pilar", located in what once was the main
square of the Roman city of Caesar Augusta, which received its name as one of
the main settlements of the Roman Empire in Hispania (Spain).
Night-life
in the city is famous across Spain, and so are the city's main festivals which
take place every October.
Specially
worth mentioning in this brief description of the city and the area are other
natural wonders such as its lakeside areas, located in the province of
Zaragoza. A beautiful example is Gallocanta, resting site for migratory birds
on their way to and from Africa.
And of
course, River Ebro - from the latin word "Iber" that gave name to the
whole of Spain and Portugal: Iberia.
The city of
Zaragoza itself was built more than two thousand years ago beside the Ebro,
which is Spain's largest-flowing river.
Complete
with its monuments, museums, gastronomy, shopping areas, tourist facilities,
natural wonders, strategic location, privileged communications by land and air,
cultural relevance, and now, the 2008 Universal Exhibition (Expo Zaragoza 2008)
-which will attract millions of visitors-, Zaragoza is undoubtedly the place to
go.
