A late-afternoon sun slants across the stone of Zaragoza’s old quarter as you press the first clue on your phone and step into a past that still smells faintly of smoke and river water. The Ebro, impatient and bright, pushes at the city’s edges and offers a riverside route that frames views of La Magdalena’s tower, which seems to watch your progress like an old sergeant.
