Zaragoza

Capital of Aragon and heart of the Ebro Way. Its Basilica of the Pillar, a center for marine pilgrimage, makes this stage an unique encounter of two great devotions.

Discover Zaragoza

Zaragoza, the monumental capital of Aragon, is the geographical and spiritual heart of the Way of St. James of the Ebro River. For the pilgrim, arriving at this great city is a doubly significant experience, as here the pilgrimage to Santiago is merged with the ancient tradition of the Marian pilgrimage to the Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar. The vision of the basilica, with its eleven glass-tiled domes reflecting in the Ebro River, is one of the most powerful images of Spain. The city offers an unparalleled heritage: the Cathedral of Salvador (The Seo) and the Palace of Aljafería, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites for their Mudéjar art, are must-visit attractions. Zaragoza is a massive service center with an excellent network of hostels and a vibrant cultural and gastronomic life, famous for its tapas in the "El Tubo" area. It's an ideal stopover for a rest day that allows you to immerse yourself in two millennia of history. In the Camino de Santiago, Zaragoza is not just a stage, but a destination in itself, a place where faith, history, and art intersect.
