Top Attractions in Zaragoza - Spain
Zaragoza is the regional capital of Aragon - the 'bread basket' of North East Spain. It resides of the River Ebro, which flows from the mountains to the north of the La Rioja wine region and out into the Mediterranean at the Costa del Azahar. The city is a beautiful place to visit no matter what the time of year. It also has some rather unusual attractions.
La Seo
La Seo is a spectacular multi-turreted cathedral that was built on top of an Arab mosque in the 12th century. It is one of Spain's architectural wonders, its three naves revealing a multitude of styles including additions and alterations of Gothic, Baroque, Renaissance and neo-classical design. The outer Mudejar wall and the detail it supports is well worth the visit alone!
Arab Baths
Arab Baths are found all around Spain. The ones at Zaragoza though have a unique history. It is thought by scholars that they were built on the site of Jewish Baths. The Baths' proximity to the Zaragoza synagogue seems to support this theory.
The Bullring - La Misericordia
Bullrings are undeniably one of Spain's most recognisable symbols, and there are certainly more famous bullrings than the bullring in Zaragoza. No other bullring though is likely to match the one at Zaragoza for its sheer drama and architectural magnificence. If you're not impressed by the retractable Teflon roof over a structure that draws parallels with the Coliseum in Rome, I'll eat my hat!
Zuda Tower
Zuda Tower is the only surviving piece of the magnificent Zuda Palace from 10th century Zaragoza. It was built on the site of the Roman wall, and built from Roman materials. Many of Aragon's kings have resided at Zuda Palace down the centuries. Today Zuda Tower is a tourist office.
La Lonja
La Lonja is an important addition to Zaragoza's architectural heritage. Built between 1541 and 1551 it was originally designed as an exchange (contracting exchange) in which farmers, growers and dealers would meet to trade agricultural produce. At the time it was undoubtedly one of the most important buildings in all of Aragon.
On entering La Lonja you will find an impressive building that oozes Gothic and Renaissance charm. The vaulted ceilings are truly magnificent and the detail in the carvings on the columns and on the walls of the Exchange exquisite.

I can’t imagine how many thousands of people have attempted to peer through the windows that were covered from the inside with thick construction paper. From the outside, the building always had a cool mid-century modern design. Located at the corner of 6

The house we are building is a simple farmhouse style. The appeal is in the views, open space and honest use of materials. Decorative touches can come later, from furnishings, accessories and things people have. If the construction elements are too decorative, then personal items that are added later will overload space, we feel. For this reason, we prefer to let bath tile be a background element, rather than a decorative feature. No contrasting backsplashes, colored stripes, carved tiles or oth

During the last few years, a lot of people saw their friends and neighbors moving into home ownership or becoming real estate investors. They saw real estate values rising and became aware of the endless supply of low-interest credit. So, to a great many people, it seemed to be the right time to get in. Unfortunately, a lot of mortgages were set at teaser rates, with the need to refinance later in order to avoid higher rates. Home buyers did not appreciate the risk of making a highly leverage
