About this trip
A school trip to Zaragoza is a four-day programme in Aragón for secondary school groups, organised in Spain by Viajes CumLaude. We have run school tours from our Barcelona office since 1996, and your group works with a named trip manager here and a 24-hour duty phone for the whole stay.
Zaragoza stacks four periods into a few streets. The Basilica del Pilar and the cathedral of La Seo face each other across the old centre, La Lonja is the Renaissance trading hall, the Aljafería is the Islamic palace, and the Roman forum, theatre, baths and river port sit under the modern city as four separate museums. A ceramics workshop follows the Roman and Islamic day.
Two days go out into Aragón. Fuendetodos has Goya's birthplace and the Museum of Engraving, with a workshop where students make their own metal plate; Belchite puts the Civil War in front of the group as a place rather than a chapter; and the last day is the Castle of Loarre and a guided walk among the Mallos rock formations.
