El Tubo

El Tubo is a neighbourhood with narrow pedestrian streets between Mártires, Cuatro de Agosto, Cinegio, Libertad, and Estébanes in the Old Town. These interconnected paths form a network of bars and restaurants positioned closely together.

The neighbourhood was a neglected area in the 1980s but transformed into a renowned gastronomic hub through extensive renovations. This revitalisation helped the district become a popular gathering place for locals and visitors alike.

The tapas bars here are known for their specialties, ranging from mushroom dishes to traditional anchovy preparations. Each establishment has its own character and signature dishes that visitors can try.

Most bars are open during daytime and evening hours, though some adjust to local dining times. It helps to arrive early to find good seating, especially on weekends.

Underground passages run beneath the streets, once connecting buildings and serving as escape routes. Casa Lac, a restaurant from 1825, remains the oldest in Zaragoza and still operates today.
