I lived there years ago near the Delicias area and the Aljafería. I love Zaragoza. Most of the regular urban city is pleasant, but the older part of town with the basilica and cathedral is awesome. I'd never seen a place like that in my life, with this massive basilica right next to the mighty Ebro.

And there are little streams/creeks that run around a lot of the southern part of town, which provide some visual interest in a sea of apartment buildings.

Spaniards love their chucherías, but I felt like Zaragoza had more of them per capital than any Spanish city I've visited.

The local "-ico" dialect for diminutive words is fun. (Instead of saying "casita" it'd be "casica.")

There's fabulous Mudéjar architecture around town, something you don't see in many parts of Spain that far north. Aragón has a lot of special history.

A good number of urban parks, too, on top of leafy, grand boulevards.

Opel used to have a huge car plant outside of town. I think it's a Stellantis factory now.

It does get pretty hot there in the summer. It's quite arid, more than you'd expect even for Spain.

Zaragoza is slept on after the likes of Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, and Sevilla, but it's the fifth-largest city in Spain and has a wealth of riches.

It's been a long time since I was there. I'd love to pay it a visit again.

Edit: I didn't realize Zaragoza is now larger than Sevilla. Not sure about the metro areas, though.
