The new gym preparing to open in Zaragoza’s Delicias district is revealing more details. Gold’s Gym, the well-known U.S. chain arriving in the Aragonese capital, wants its future center on Avenida de Madrid to be more than a place to exercise. The facility will include areas for physical recovery, nutrition, work and socializing.
Valdefierro wants the future residential complex for older people at the former Buen Pastor site not to become an island within the neighborhood. The Buen Pastor Platform and the Valdefierro Residents’ Association will attend the Aragon Parliament this Wednesday, September 30, to ask the regional government to involve residents in the project’s development and maintain an ongoing dialogue during its implementation. Their request is based on a clear idea: that ties with the surrounding area should be part of the complex’s design itself rather than treated as a secondary issue.
At the corner of Temple Street and Contamina Street in Zaragoza, a 17th-century building still stands. Number 14 is notable for its old arched stone doorway, though it now goes almost unnoticed among those visiting the historic center’s bars and venues.
They have been part of La Almozara’s landscape for years, but few people could explain what lies behind their brick walls. These small huts, scattered around the Jardines de Lisboa, often go unnoticed until someone wonders what they are used for. That is exactly what happened recently in a neighborhood Facebook group, where a resident raised the question and sparked a curious debate among those who said the huts stored tools, those who remembered they had once been toilets, and those who pointed to their true purpose: electricity-related facilities.
Some businesses become part of Zaragoza’s identity over time. One of them is Fantoba, an establishment where simply walking through the door means immersing yourself in its aromas and flavors.

The renovation of San Miguel Square is entering its final phase, but it has failed to convince everyone. Zaragoza’s Tree Council considers the municipal project “a missed opportunity” for the city and questions whether the outcome will meet the goals set out in the original plan, including creating a greener, healthier space better prepared to cope with high summer temperatures.
For many Zaragoza residents, pizza vending machines are nothing new. They are already used to finding them in places such as central Zaragoza or near Goya station.

The former restaurant and seafood venue at the Delicias Civic Center, closed since December 2014 after half a century of operation, is facing its definitive transformation.

The works will represent an investment of 477,722.16 euros and are expected to take eight months.
Zaragoza province is home to one of Aragón's most surprising spots. In Urriés, a small town of barely 50 residents, lies what is considered Spain's narrowest street. Known as “El Callejón,” it is just 41 centimeters wide and has become a real challenge for those who try to walk through it.

Zaragoza enters the decisive stage of its bid to become European Green Capital 2028 with a close reference point: Guimarães, the Portuguese city holding the title in 2026 and hosting the final on October 8 to decide the 2028 winner. Zaragoza’s bid will face Aalborg (Denmark), Bielsko-Biala (Poland), Košice (Slovakia) and Porto (Portugal), but Guimarães’ model also offers clues about what Zaragoza may need to convince the European jury.
The data center Microsoft plans to build next to Puerto Venecia has once again faced opposition from local residents in the streets of Torrero this Sunday.
