Unique Museum in Europe dedicated to the art of origami
Reviewed By GSAJ - Blenheim, New Zealand
This display in Spain is something to behold. The artists who made these exhibits must be very skilled. Very cheap admission price and well worth the time to visit in this central location.

Breathtaking, Awe-Inspiring, Magnificent, these are just a few words to describe this Amazing Cathedral!!! From the statuary to the artwork, the pews to the ceilings, I was at a loss for words!! This Church still holds services and I was lucky enough to be there to observe and pray, and though the service was in Spanish it was a beautiful and spiritual experience. Inside, a Roman-style pillar is topped by a statue of the Virgin Mary and baby Jesus that dates from the fifteenth century. It is housed in a chapel of marble, jasper, and gilded bronze that forms almost a church-within-a-church. You can also go to the back of the chapel, where people can kneel and kiss the pillar itself. It is a must see for anyone!!

Compared with its neighboring and imposing Basilica of the Pillar, the Cathedral doesn´t impress from the outside. Once inside, you´ll be astonished with its collection or remarkable chancels, all around the temple´s periphery and also around the choir. And you can´t leave the church without visiting the Tapestries Museum. It´s a must for their quantity, quality and preservation state.

If you want to see a Arabic Palace in Zaragoza, make sure to visit the Palacio de la Aljaferia! Its a beautiful UNESCO World Heritage Sight-and medieval palace built during the second half of the 11th century in the Taifa of Zaragoza in Al-Andalus, present day Zaragoza, Aragon, Spain. It was the residence of the Banu Hud dynasty during the era of Abu Jaffar Al-Muqtadir. The palace reflects the splendour attained by the Taifa of Zaragoza at the height of its grandeur. It currently contains the Cortes (regional parliament) of the autonomous community of Aragon. The Arabic and Islamic influences are everywhere, from the arches and geometric patterns to the latticework. The gardens are breathtaking as well. Though empty of any furnishings, you can almost imagine The Sultan himself there in te year 1065 - he called it Qasr al-Surur" (Palace of the Joy) and to see the throne room which he presided over receptions was just amazing! Adults: €5. With a Young Person, Student or Pensioners (over 65) card: €1. Groups (over 20 people) and with Tourist Bus ticket: €4 per person. Children 0-12 years: Free.

I would recommend to stay at least a night in the hotel on site. Unfortunately we went for the day from Zaragoza and could not enjoy to the full extent this wonderful park and monastery. The restaurant Piedra Vieja was offering a fixed menu for 13 euros that include three course of decent quality. Driving to this place is a beautiful journey too the landscape is magical. Do no miss it!

The £3 to go up by elevator are a must - you need to go into the church and follow an arrow, and don’t worry as the lift isn’t closed (the chap who sells tickets also goes up and down). After the end of the lift ride you still go up a few more flights, but mind that the landing for the lift probably gives you the best photos. Go in the morning as the sun is right.
7. El Tubo

Reviewed By SilviaTheChincheta - Antwerp, Belgium
El Tubo it is called like that because it is an area of very narrow streets in the city center of Zaragoza, like a “tube”. It is very known because it is dull of small bars and restaurants serving the best tapas and meals in town. The ambience is incredible. Locals choose to do a bit of bar hopping. They go from one bar to the other to eat the specialties from one or other place. They are mostly standing outside, it will be difficult in busy days to find places to sit, but in my opinion is part of the charm. I don’t think you can eat bad there, but my favourite places are: Doña Casta (croquetas), Meli Melo (everything!), bodegas Almau (anchovis tapas). If you are in Zaragoza and you don’t come eat here once, it is like not being in Zaragoza at all.

You can find this square easily. It is surround by stunning architecture and has the Tourist Information in hand to help you come up with an itinerary. At the moment they are currently setting up for the Christmas markets. I’m sure they will look great when they are finished.
