About this tour
This session walks Parque del Agua, the riverside parkland built for Zaragoza's 2008 Expo and kept afterwards as permanent green space. You see paths that once served a temporary exhibition and a few of the pavilion buildings that remain, repurposed for other uses. Elena explains what changed once the Expo ended.
The walk follows the river through the former Expo grounds at an easy pace, with Elena pointing out which structures are original and which came later. She answers questions about the Expo's legacy as the walk continues.
This suits anyone interested in urban regeneration as much as riverside scenery. It also pairs well with Elena's Parque Grande session for two different Zaragoza parks.
Included
