Hotels in Tarazona

Plaza de España and the Queiles

The lower part of Tarazona, between Plaza de España and the river Queiles, is the liveliest. Here is the town hall with the frieze on its façade, surrounded by bars, shops and restaurants. The streets are flat and it is easy to get around with a suitcase or pushchair.

Choose this area if you want to see the town on foot and go out to dinner without thinking about the car. The slopes up to the upper town start here, so everything is close at hand.

Best-rated in this area: Hostal Santa Agueda, with a score of 8.8 from 764 reviews.

The cathedral district

Across the Queiles, the cathedral of Santa María de la Huerta stands in a more open area, and very close is the old octagonal bullring. It is a quiet, residential district with wider streets than the old town.

Sleeping here has advantages if you are driving, as getting around is easier. You also reach the centre with a short walk across the river and have the cathedral round the corner to see first thing.

El Cinto and the Jewish quarter

Tarazona’s upper town, the Cinto district, holds the Episcopal Palace, the church of La Magdalena and the streets of the old Jewish quarter. It is the most picturesque area, with the best views over the town and the Moncayo. At night its alleys are silent and lovely for a stroll.

The drawback is the slopes and the narrow streets, where a car barely fits. If you stay here, travel light and wear comfortable shoes. It suits young travellers, couples and anyone who puts charm before convenience.

Best-rated in this area: Hostal Santa Agueda, with a score of 8.8 from 764 reviews.

The way out towards the Moncayo

Tarazona’s road exits, away from the old-town slopes, have wide streets that are easy for the car. If your plan is to spend the day in the natural park or at the Veruela monastery, sleeping at this end saves you driving through the old town every morning.
