These are the times to avoid if attending the Flower Offering independently: route and what to know

People who want to take part in Zaragoza’s Flower Offering independently on October 12 will not need to register in advance, but they should bear in mind a recommendation from Zaragoza City Council: avoid, as far as possible, the period between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. This is when the largest number of participants is expected, and it also coincides with the institutional events, meaning it is the time when the longest waits and largest crowds are likely to occur.
