Located in northeast Spain, on the Ebro River in Aragon, is the city of Zaragoza. The city is famed for being the birthplace of Christianity in Spain - the landmark Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar has been erected to commemorate this. The city also celebrates a major religious festival called Las Fiestas del Pilar in October. It honours the patron saint of the city with various events and activities taking place over the course of ten days, including parades and firework displays. With so much to see and do in the city by hiring a car in Zaragoza, you'll be able to experience it all while getting the most out of your visit.
There are many things to see in Zaragoza - highlights of the museums are the Museum of Fine Art, which has paintings from masters of art including Goya and Rembrandt, and the Centro de Historia, which tells the story of Zaragoza. For those interested in exploring, there are some true architectural gems dotted around the city. The Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar was built in a Baroque style, and in contrast the Aljafería Palace is a great example of stunning Moorish architecture.
