Zaragoza, founded by the Romans in 14 BC as Caesaraugusta (from which the modern name 'Zaragoza' derives), passed through Visigothic, Umayyad (Saraqusta) and Christian rule (reconquered in 1118 by Alfonso I of Aragon). Capital of the Kingdom of Aragon for five centuries, it's now Spain's fifth city (700,000 people) and a major rail hub between Madrid and Barcelona. The Basílica del Pilar — a double baroque cathedral on the Ebro dedicated to the Virgin of the Pillar — draws 5 million pilgrims a year and dominates the medieval Casco Histórico. For travellers with a dog, Zaragoza is one of Spain's most dog-friendly destinations: 126 municipal off-leash zones (among Spain's highest densities), the 27-hectare Parque Grande Labordeta, long off-leash walking along the Riberas del Ebro, and the 24/7 AniCura Emvet veterinary referral hospital.
