About this tour
This session moves from the Mercado Central, a modernist market hall from 1903, out to the Puente de Piedra, the stone bridge that has crossed the Ebro in some form since medieval times. You see the market's ironwork up close and the bridge connecting two sides of the city that have always depended on each other. Diego explains how market and bridge have sat close together for centuries.
The walk moves from the market's counters out onto the bridge itself, with Diego pointing out the basilica's domes visible from the crossing. He answers questions about the market's produce and the bridge's history as they come up.
This suits anyone who wants a practical, everyday side of Zaragoza alongside its grander landmarks. It also works well as a short first stop before exploring the old town further.
