Shopping inside Zaragoza: "other streets".

Shopping inside Zaragoza: "other streets".

Zaragoza can be the city in Spain with more shopping centres per inhabitant. And city centre has several streets with a lot of shops.

But not all shops are in city centre.

We want to talk about one shopping street "different", where you will not see too many tourism but has something special

Delicias street

Calle Delicias (Delicias street... or if you want the awful translation written somewhere "Street Delights" which seems to be translated with an online program) is the street that names an important neighbourhood, in fact, the one with more population.

It is a cobbled and pedestrian street with a lot of shops. And you will find nice prices there.

What kind of shops can I find there?

Almost all kind of shops, never mind if about clothes, furniture, food, technology, toys, etc... There is only one detail. No major shopping companies use to have there a shop or something like that (there are exceptions, of course). This is, you will find clothes or furniture shops but no one with that "well known" name. They are usually small shops that will make the same service... and usually cheaper rather than in shopping centre or city centre.
Reason is clear... it is one of cheapest neighbourhood for living and a hire for a shop is not expensive, so prices will be cheaper. Furthermore, it is not the richest neirghbourhood. Shops will check prices for their major customers... and you will find interesting things there.

Be sure you will find almost all you would want to buy being at Zaragoza and cheaper.

Just take notice about they are shops not used to receive tourism so English will not be spoken (maybe in those managed by Asian people, but not used).

Anyway it worths to walk around this street. It is not in a touristic area but the whole street worths.

How can I arrive there?

Easily by bus.
If you have the Touristic bus ticket, stop at Zaragoza railway station is the nearest, despite it is about 1 km away.

You can take any other line to reach there. For instance, western side (Av. Madrid) can be reached by lines 32, 33, 21, etc... (doesn't matter the number, just take a look at www.tuzsa.es and look for the line nearest to your origin) and eastern side (Av. Duquesa Villahermosa) can be reached by line 38 or 22.

Remember that with Zaragoza card you have some bus or tramway included in the card and no need to pay the bus if using that card.

And... there is a surprise in the middle of the street.

There was one little corner where they made a "vertical garden". Similar to those New York gardens, it is a 800m path in several flats with a lot of vegetation that can be walked and enjoyed.

There is no need to look for it. You will find it exactly in the middle of the street.

Just have some views:
