Zaragoza · El Pilar
The first Marian temple in the West.
The Basilica of the Pilar, La Seo cathedral and a historic centre explored on foot. Its position on the Madrid–Barcelona axis makes it ideal for one-day stops. The visit combines the basilica, the cathedral and the spaces of the historic centre with time for the group's celebration. It is a common gateway to longer routes through northern Spain.

Best season

Group profile
Parroquias, cofradías, grupos de mayores y viajes de un solo día.
The destination, in detail
Zaragoza is an easy destination to organize and very rewarding for groups: the basilica, the Holy Chapel, the mantle of the Virgin, La Seo, and the Roman surroundings of Caesaraugusta are all within a few minutes' walk. We schedule group mass at El Pilar, a guided tour, and free time, with the possibility of extending to Muel, Calatayud, or the Monasterio de Piedra.
