❤ This is Zaragoza! Let’s start the travel journey! ❤
Zaragoza
Zaragoza is the capital city of the Zaragoza province and the autonomous community of Aragon. It lies by the Ebro River and its tributaries, Huerva and Gállego. It is famous for its folklore, local cuisine, and landmarks, such as Aljafería Palace and Cathedral-Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar.
Transport
I took the Renfe train from Pamplona to Zaragoza-Delicias and it took around 2 hours. It was pretty quick and convenient.
Accommodation
My accommodation for Zaragoza was Hostal Puente de Piedra.
Address: Avenida Cataluna, 13, 50014 Zaragoza, Spain
The hostel is located next to the stone bridge and you can visit the tourist spots within walking distance. The hostel staff were also friendly and kind to tourists. She even provided a map for me. The room was clean and spacious. I had a good stay there and I recommended it.

Sightseeing
Stone Bridge
Stone Bridge is an iconic landmark in Zaragoza. It is a bridge across the Ebro River. It is also known as the Bridge of Lions because four lions have been placed on the pillars at each end of the bridge since 1991.
Cathedral-Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar
The Cathedral-Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar is a Roman Catholic church in Zaragoza. It is in the Baroque architectural style.
Leaning Tower of Zaragoza
Compared with the Leaning Tower of Piza, it’s nothing because the lean is not large at all. LOL.
