Zaragoza Travel Forum

Hi
I am going to see a friend who lives in Zaragoza - planning sometime in October. There is a flight from a nearby airport to Girona. I see that the distance is 356 miles. Are there any obvious problems to hiring a car and driving? I have been before and I think I would want to avoid driving in the centre but I could leave the car at her house which is in a village outside of the centre.
Thanks
Sheila

Visiting Zaragoza in August with daughter who will attend univercity there in the coming year - was wondering what is best way to go from city center to Univercity

Hello!

Was wondering if there was anyone who has visited Zaragoza's EXPO 2008 that could review it's highlights/low points?

I'm planning on traveling to the EXPO next month and was hoping to learn some pointers about visiting the site from someone who has already experienced it!

Thanks!

Hi,
I will not be able to attend Expo Zaragoza 2008. I am selling two 3-day passes to attend the expo anytime from 14 june to 14 september 2008.
Official ticket price right now is 70 euros plus shipping per 3-day adult pass.

I am selling them both for 100 euros included certified shipment. I bought them originally at a discount price, so i am selling them at face value, plus 4 euros or so for shipping. You'd save 40 euros!!

I can get paid through PayPal for a total of 105 euros, or through bank wire for 100 euros. Email me if you are interested in. Thanks

I will be arriving Zaragoza by train for a few hours short visit. Can anyone advise me how can I get to the city centre from the train station?

I heard that the luggage locker at Cordoba train station had been closed. Is the luggage locker at Zaragoza closed? Any VT members' help will be much appreciated.

What is the best area to be located in at Zaragoza?

Many thanks!

Hi,
I will go to Zaragoza in September, at the University, but I can't afford to stay 3 weeks in a hotel so I would like to know if someone knows an aparthotel or a flat to rent in the center. I know that I can try to share a flat but I had a bad experience last year so I would prefer to be alone I think, this time. Thanks for your tips!

Hi all,

I need some advice: what is the fastest way to travel from Girona airport to Zaragoza?? By bus, by train? a combination of both maybe?
I know the bus is probably the cheapest, but we will be arriving on a Friday the 14th of April around 17.00. I think there might be a chance that the bustickets will be sold out, especially because it is the friday before Easter.
I hope someone can help me out...
Thanks in advance!

Hi everybody! I'm planning to visit Zaragoza since I have a low cost flight from my town directly to it. I would like to take Zaragoza as a base and going around there. I'd need some information like:
1) is there something interesting near zaragoza?
2) what about trasportation?
3) do you know cheap accomodation in zaragoza?
4) which is the best time to visit it? How is the climate?
I asked many questions, I know, but I hope someone can answer at some of them at least! Thank you very much!

regards
Sergio

I'll be visiting Zaragoza in two weeks and are interested in local Photo Labs - preferably someone who can take digital media and perhaps can accept pictures via email.

Hi there. I will be coming to live in the Aragon region this September for a year and will be working in Andorra. I would like to live in Zaragoza and I was wondering if there are any daily buses or trains that would take me there and back? Also how far is it exactly from Zaragoza to Andorra?

Hi, I am touring a large group of 19 adults and 3 children (between 7 and 12 years old). Does anyone have a highly recommendable very local (not a tourists restaurant PLEASE!) NON-TOURISTS restaurant - if possible home cooking restaurant (money is not a problem)¿ These group are from Japan so, as you can see now they are about the easiest & enjoyable people to please and always very generous. I know Barcelona like the back of my hands although I have been to Zaragoza quite often for the feasta of Nuestra Sra. Pilar, we always end up having our meals back here in Barcelona...not for any particular reason, I think it´s just the timing. Cheers!

Hi,

I am going for a weekend in Zaragoza with my girlfriend and am looking for some tips. I would like to stay in a comfortable clean but cheap hotel, reasonably close to the city centre. I would prefer a family type 'pension' or bed and breakfast rather than a big chain hotel.
Any reccomendations ? Budget would be around 50€ for a double room per night.
I have heard about Posada de las Almas and Monasterio de Piedra - any good ?

On a general note any tips of what to do are appreciated - I guess at nights tapas and bars ? I want to experience the real Zaragoza and hope to meet some locals.

Many thanks,
J

Hi there all,

Seems I might be travelling to Spain soon. Can't wait!!!!

A couple of years back I worked in Dublin and used to have a colleague by the name of José-Ramon Lamenca Lalaguna who initially came from Zaragoza and later returned to Zaragoza.

I would love to be able to trace him down again so I can say hi when I visit Spain but I'm getting desperate. Anyone got any ideas how I can go about to find an individual in such a big place?

we are thinking of moving to zaragoza from england, because it seems to be the most industrious area of spain(please let me know if im wrong). My husband is a welder does anyone know how easy it is to get a job and rent long term, thanks

Hi, myself and family of five (3 children 19 - 14 years old) are staying one night (Sunday) in Zaragoza en route to Barcelona.
We are looking for a hostale type accomodation near El Pilar where I can find somewhere to park the rental car for the night (car park or roadside).
I will need two rooms (one x 3 people, one x 2).
I am looking for en-suite rooms and am hoping not to pay more than 30 - 50 euros per room + breakfast !
... maybe a tall order !
Does anybody know of any friendly atmospheric places that might be suitable ?
Thanks.
Trevor.

Does anyone know when exactly the Feria del Pilar is supposed to take place this year? I should buy tickets to go there and would like to know what cuadrillas will participate.
Any help will be much appreciated
