north-east in the Ebro valley. Because of its geographical location, Zaragoza
has had between its populations people like Iberians, Celtics, Romans,
Muslims, Jewish or Visigoths. A great number of historic buildings evoke
the two thousand years of the city, from the roman ruins to the remains
of a great muslim palace or the mudejar churches. Nowadays Zaragoza is
a modern city with big commercial activity and an intensive night life,
especially at the weekends. Its location in the centre of Arag?n makes
it possible that in just one day, the traveller can visit the sea, the
Ebro Valley, the desert (Monegros), the pre-Pyrenees, famous for tis canyons,
and the Pyrenees with its perpetual snow or the Iberian mountains with
an uncountable number of medieval villages.
