Overview

This three-hour walk starts at the Monumento a César Augusto and works its way through Zaragoza's Old Town, the Central Market, and finally the tapas strip known as el Tubo.

The Central Market, built in 1903, is one of the stops. Food-wise, the tour includes four local tapas and four drinks, with local wine, beer, and soft drinks among the options.

It suits travellers who want an introduction to the city's food scene paired with some history. Reviewers repeatedly describe a warm, conversational evening where the guide adapts the tapas choices to the group's tastes. At the end, the guide sends participants off with recommendations for the rest of their stay, so it can double as a useful orientation for a first night in town.

One reviewer found the tapas portions at one stop underwhelming, so expectations on quantity can vary. Because it is a walking tour through the Old Town, comfortable shoes and a jacket are recommended. Cancellation is possible up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund.
