3-Hour Tapas Sightseeing

A three-hour tapas tour that doubles as a sightseeing walk through Zaragoza, pairing old-town stops with food along the way. It rates 5 across 7 reviews and starts from $50.65 per person.

Overview

Three tapas, three drinks, and a walk through Zaragoza's old center in the company of a guide who knows both the city's history and its food. The tour, run by Zaragusta under guide Lorenzo Ibáñez, runs for three hours and moves between San Felipe Square, the El Tubo district, and the Puerta Cinegia food market, pairing each stop with a tasting that ties back to the place itself.

The first tapa is a breaded artichoke, eaten in the cellars of the Montal restaurant in San Felipe Square, a nod to the Ebro orchard and Aragonese wine. From there the route heads into El Tubo, the narrow-streeted heart of traditional tapas in Zaragoza, where the group sits down at El Corral de la Delfina for the local classic known as the Guardia Civil, also called carrillera. The final stop is the modern Cinegia market, which sits above the city's ancient Roman entrance, for an exclusive rice casserole with meat or fish and a farewell view of the Augusto de Prima Porta statue.

Several travellers also mention picking up city history they would not have found on their own.
