Walking in Zaragoza conveys a special sense of peace and tranquillity, streets are long, wide and clean, people generally smile, shops can be stylishly sophisticated, while Roman ruins remind of a glorious ancient history. Eventually, while visiting the centre you will find yourself in the enormous square hosting the cathedral dedicated to the Virgin of Pilar; she appeared to Saint James in person.
However, if you want to breathe pure air few stops of an efficient tramway will take you inside an exotic park full of chatting Spanish, various kinds of trees and funny domesticated ducks.
Zaragoza is definitely worths a visit, the main characteristic of the city is an "ordinary european beauty", but as a matter of facts none of the buildings are really overwhelming or have a particular Artistic originality, the long boulevards make you think of France, the interior decoration of churches reflect Italian influence, and the local movida is a small taste of what Barcellona and Madrid can offer.
