Zaragoza
Zaragoza
The appeal of Aragón’s capital is that it has been relatively untouched by tourism – even its name has something a little Prisoner of Zenda-rish about it. Most travellers know it only as a train station between Barcelona and Madrid but it hides a wealth of authentic Spanish cuisine and Moorish history behind its coy facade. Attractions include the AljaferÃa, the greatest Moorish edifice outside AndalucÃa, the Roman Forum of ancient Caesaraugusta, and the BasÃlica de Nuestra Señora del Pilar.
