A walk along the canal can be as relaxing or as strenuous as you like; it all depends on how long you make it. You can explore the neighborhoods south of Zaragoza, reach the airport, continue on to Garrapinillos and Pinseque, and even the spectacular crossing of the Jalón River at the Grisen Wall. From there, you can return to Zaragoza by going to Alagón and from there, via Torres de Berrellen, returning along the banks of the Ebro River. Note: avoid windy days, especially if the Cierzo wind is blowing.

The Larralde raft is worth seeing, but not the rest.

Architecturally, it's stunning, but we couldn't find a way to follow the canal without getting our feet wet. In the end, we crossed the Jalón River under the canal and then rejoined it. The question remains whether we could have crossed the canal walls on foot. On the left side, there was an open metal gate (we were already on the right side), but on the other side of the Jalón River, we saw another metal gate locked with a padlock.

It's still just a bike lane on a 6-lane avenue, but any bridge that crosses the Ebro is worth a stop, and the architecture of this one is quite impressive (I seem to remember that at the time it was the largest concrete arch built in Spain).

Diverse and entertaining. Very accessible trails and paths, as well as several asphalt sections.

Wikipedia The Jalón River Aqueduct, also known as the Grisén or Jalón Walls or El Caracol, is the most representative work of the construction of the Imperial Canal of Aragon, built in the 18th century. This aqueduct is located in the natural setting of El Caracol, between the municipalities of Alagón and Grisén, about 25 kilometers from the city of Zaragoza. The objective of this work was to cross the greatest obstacle found in the layout of the canal, the Jalón River. Initially, the creation of a large siphon beneath the waters of the Jalón was proposed, but finally the layout of the canal twists towards the Jalón Valley to face the river perpendicularly. A route of more than 2 kilometers in total length begins, of which 1,380 meters run between stone walls.

One of the many hermitages near the river that are preserved in the towns of the Ribera del Ebro and that probably replaces another older temple. Next to it there is a picnic area with some stone tables. It doesn't have much shade but it is a nice place to take a break along the way. In the hottest months, be careful with mosquitoes, especially in the late afternoon.
