How to choose accommodation in Zaragoza
The Sun will be very low on the horizon toward the west-northwest. Look for accommodation with a balcony or rooftop that is clear in that direction, or near the banks of the Ebro and open spaces where no tall buildings block the sunset.
The city center is convenient for getting around, but prioritize the horizon over the views. Book a flexible-cancellation rate in case the cloud forecast changes in the weeks beforehand.
