It always takes place around the 12th October and lasts for 9 days. The festival finds it's origin in the belief that the Virgin Mary miraculously visited the apostle Saint James in Zaragoza. The events include the multitudinous pregón (a speech proclaiming the forthcoming festival), the final fireworks in the Ebro river, a succession of street brass bands, dances, parades of giants and cabezudos (figures with an enormous head that chase after the children), concerts, exhibitions, the famous vaquillas, when everybody can run in front of young bulls in the bullring, and the well-known bullfights. The offering of flowers (Ofrenda de Flores) to the Virgin on the 12th of October is remarkable: the flowers form an enormous mantle for the Virgin in the middle of the vast square; the crowded Mass of Infantes (child singers) occurs at dawn on the same day and the beautiful Rosario de Cristal (Crystal Rosary) can be seen in the afternoon on the 13th. The Rosario de Cristal parade is a street procession with 258 lanterns and 15 polychromatic crystal floats, with great popular participation.

Storia [modifica]Colonia romana (25 a.C.) con il nome Caesaraugusta, costituita nei pressi di un insediamento degli Iberi (Salduba). Fu uno dei centri più importanti della Hispania Tarraconensis, una delle tre (poi quattro) Province in cui i Romani divisero la Spagna. Alla caduta dell'Impero romano d'Occidente fu occupata dai Visigoti. Fu tra le prime città spagnole a convertirsi al Cristianesimo e nel 713 venne conquistata dagli Arabi che la fecero capitale (Sarakusta) di un principato rivale di Cordoba, Toledo e Merida. Fu riconquistata nel 1118 dai Cristiani, ebbe un periodo di grande prosperità divenendo capitale del Regno d'Aragona. Durante la guerra napoleonica sostenne due assedi da parte delle truppe francesi nel 1808 e 1809.
Economia [modifica]Saragozza è un importante centro produttivo e commerciale, con stabilimenti tessili, alimentari (soprattutto zuccherifici), industrie meccaniche, cartiere, cementifici e impianti di lavorazione del vetro.
