City Overview

Zaragoza is the capital of Aragon and Spain’s fifth city — between Madrid and Barcelona (each ~1.5 h by high-speed rail), a logistics and manufacturing (auto, appliances) hub. The Basilica del Pilar is its landmark, and Expo 2008 spurred urban renewal. Living and housing costs are low with strong value and a relaxed pace, in a continental climate — the industry, logistics and administrative center of northeastern Spain.
