Arboleda de Macanaz

This large riverside grove could be accessed by an old footbridge until 1965. It was here that Zaragozans celebrated the Cincomarzada holiday, and the woodcutters that         chose the saw-mills of the Arrabal district used to stop off en route. The construction of the Santiago Bridge took up a quarter of the grove, and its subsequent landscaping, irrevocably altered its natural appearance, leaving only a row of trees alongside the river beyond the park fence.
