What to do in Zaragoza

Zaragoza occupies a strategic position between the Pyrenees and the Iberian System, making it a versatile starting point for outdoor activities in very different environments. The Ebro river as it flows through the city allows kayaking in semi-calm water and mountain biking along the dedicated riverside paths. Ninety kilometres to the north, the Mallos de Riglos are an international reference for sport climbing on conglomerate, with vertical routes of up to 300 metres above the Gállego river. Moncayo Natural Park (2,316 m), about 80 kilometres to the west, offers the province's finest mid-mountain trails through pinsapo fir and oak forests where autumn hiking is particularly attractive. Horse riding routes through the Huerva valley and the Ebro Riverbank complete an offering that, thanks to Zaragoza's central position, can be combined with visits to the Aragonese Pyrenees on the same trip.
