You start with a phone screen and a map of stone: narrow alleys open into sunlit squares, the Ebro River runs along your right as the Basilica's towers pull your gaze. The scavenger hunt drops you into Zaragoza’s lived-in center — clues send you circling the Roman walls, threading through the Mercado Central and pausing at the defensive grace of the Aljafería.
