Zaragoza Celebrates European Mobility Week with the Theme «Mobility for All People»
The city of Zaragoza joins the initiative of the European Commission from September 16 to 28, which aims to raise awareness about the negative consequences of excessive urban car use. The program includes round tables, family activities, an electric vehicle exhibition, and a technological hackathon.
