Zaragoza
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Zaragoza is my recommendation, too. I’ve been there multiple times and never get tired of visiting it.
- Zaragoza – I’ve been there and back there again, and again, and again. Lots to see and great eating.
- I recommend Zaragoza. You’ll take the train from Madrid to Barcelona and Zaragoza is the perfect stop between the two. It’s Spain’s 4th largest city with great history, tapas, etc. And it’s relatively unknown.
- Did you like Zaragoza? I found it really underrated, a really good city with a lot going on that never seems to make it onto people's itineraries except as a place to transit through on the way somewhere else.
- I’d suggest 4-5 days in each, with a stop off for 1-2 days in Zaragoza in between. That’s a nice, varied trip.
Cons
- you could make a pit-stop at Zaragoza to visit the Cathedral, but it is not a very touristic city itself.
- I guess Zaragoza was slightly underwhelming for all the hype surrounding it as a hidden gem, but I still enjoyed it.

Zaragoza is the half way point on the train line so it's a no brainer. Explore 2-3 nights in Zaragoza!
Zaragoza is better by train than Valencia, the high speed train between Madrid and Barcelona stops in Zaragoza.
