Bicitour through the Sites of Zaragoza

Overview of the tour in Zaragoza

On June 15, 1808 the Napoleonic army appears before the gates of Saragossa. General Lefebvre has more than 6000 soldiers to take an important but poorly defended square. The city resists surprisingly to the attacks and begins a stubborn fight street by street and house by house where the local population resists four months before the best army of the world. Between 1808 and 1809 Zaragoza was bombarded day and night, heroically resisting the invaders. Finally, and after having faced more than 40,000 French soldiers, the exhausted and semi-ruined city of Zaragoza signed an honorable surrender.

The echoes of such a feat still linger in the streets of Zaragoza. Its people, names and places that witnessed a battle without quarter with tens of thousands of dead behind them will be the protagonists more than two hundred years later.

join us to travel through all these stories and spaces again! We will be transported on electric bicycles around the defensive perimeter of Zaragoza, crossing the front line to learn in situ the stories of heroism and sacrifice that marked this crucial period in the history of Zaragoza and Spain.

On arrival

The meeting point is the local Ebrobici, in Mundir I street, next to the Salvador Cathedral, where we will pick up the electric bicycles for the tour.

Things to note

The route will be done on bike lanes and on the road, so a good control of the bicycle is necessary.
