“Soldadito marinero” and “El hijo de la Inés,” classic Spanish rock songs rarely heard as bar soundtracks, take center stage at Rekonkista, a venue at 16 C/ Reconquista in Zaragoza where rock remains alive and at the heart of the business.
It is more than just a walk. This Sunday, September 6, Zaragoza will come together to highlight the importance of caring for mental health. Zaragoza City Council is organizing “One More Step for Mental Health,” an accessible 1.8-kilometre route through Parque Grande José Antonio Labordeta to raise awareness and promote the importance of mental health and emotional wellbeing.
Zaragoza will show its support and solidarity with Ceuta this Wednesday. The Aragonese capital has joined the rally promoted by the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces (FEMP), which has called on Spanish municipalities to mobilize to coincide with Ceuta Day. The event will take place this Wednesday, September 2, at 8 p.m. in Plaza del Pilar, outside Zaragoza City Hall.
The main balcony of Zaragoza City Hall displays a banner reading "Zaragoza Stands with Ceuta" this Wednesday. Mayor Natalia Chueca, accompanied by spokespersons for the municipal groups—with the exception of Zaragoza en Común—put it up on Ceuta Day as a gesture of solidarity and support for Ceuta residents amid the situation facing the autonomous city since the massive and irregular entry of thousands of people across the border on July 30 and 31.
Negotiations over Zaragoza's 2027 budget are beginning to shape the city's political agenda and have already triggered the first exchange of accusations between Natalia Chueca's administration and Vox. The party's spokesperson, Eva Torres, called on the People's Party this Tuesday to fulfill the commitments agreed in the budget deal before sitting down to negotiate the next accounts. This Wednesday, the mayor responded by defending the fact that the city continues to implement the 2026 budget while already working on planning for the following year.
Although weeks remain before the calendar enters the final quarter of the year and temperatures still feel summery, Zaragoza is already preparing for Christmas.

The Church of San Pablo has shaped the El Gancho skyline for centuries and stands as one of the finest examples of Zaragoza’s Mudéjar architecture. Popularly known as Zaragoza’s “third cathedral,” it owes this nickname to the monumentality of its architecture, the valuable artistic heritage it preserves and the numerous ecclesiastical privileges it accumulated over the centuries.
