La Arboleda de Macanaz is just one of the many wonderful green areas which the River Ebro has to offer.
Jaume Plensa’s sculpture ‘Alma del Ebro’ (Soul of the Ebro) and the Zaragoza Conference Centre are great examples of modern art and architecture.
The area formerly occupied by Expo 2008 is now a place for relaxation and recreation next to the river.
Terraces flourish on the banks of the Ebro, many of them with cultural activity for all audiences.
The Torre del Agua (Water Tower) has become a symbol of Zaragoza’s new direction.
