Tour description
Do you want to know the legends and mysteries that surround the ancient city of Zaragoza? Do you want to know the stories of conquest and power that made the Crown of Aragon great?
Then join me on this 2-hour tour in which you will be terrified and amazed by the history of the city.
You will learn the story of San Pedro Arbués, a saint who was not a saint, or that of Uncle Candiola, a traitor who tormented the city even after his death. You will be fascinated when you discover that elves exist, and that they are anything but charming. You will be fascinated by the stubbornness of the people of Zaragoza, which led us to carry out the first uprising against the Austrian monarchy and defeat the most powerful army in the world. You will see churches burned down for a greater good, and you will be stunned to hear the true story of Saint George and the Dragon. We will walk together to the Pilar, and there you will learn the story of the virgin and the miracles that made her so beloved among the people of Zaragoza, but you will also learn the bloody story of Santa Engracia, the saint whom the virgin of the pillar overthrew as the depositary of our faith. . We will cross the stone bridge, the oldest in the city, and we will stand next to a well in the Ebro that hides hundreds of corpses and that according to legend communicates directly with the Mediterranean.
