Huge baroque basilica, one of Spain's most important pilgrimage sites. Legend says Virgin Mary appeared here in 40 AD. Impressive from riverside. Free entry, lift to tower EUR4.
Yes! Often overlooked, it's Spain's 5th largest city with Roman ruins, Moorish palace (Aljaferia), great tapas scene (El Tubo), and less tourists than Barcelona/Madrid.
AVE high-speed train: Madrid 1h20, Barcelona 1h30. Perfect day trip or stopover. Airport has budget flights (Ryanair). Central location makes it ideal Spain base.
