Thinking of Moving Abroad? Consider Zaragoza - Spain's Best Kept Secret

Thinking About Moving to Spain? Consider Zaragoza - The Other Great City | Spain's Best Kept Secret | Future Expat in Training.
People are sleepin on Spain's fifth largest city. It has all the history, culture, great restaurants, family fun activities, great night life, reasonable cost of living, convenient transportation system, and the diversity is expanding. All without the massive overload of tourism like Barcelona or Madrid.
I have been working remotely as an Accounting Manager for a software company since 2018, and I truly appreciate the opportunity of working from home. After doing some research on my goal of becoming a digital nomad domestically and internationally, I came across my tribe of mature single black women who travel solo worldwide and gain support via groups like @Exodus Summit. Now I want to talk about ALL of my experiences.
From the epiphany of realizing I can do my job from anywhere, to planning my 2023 exploratory/scouting trip in various countries in the EU and Mexico, discovering how to enjoy travel via petsitting by caring for other traveler’s home and pets, to realizing my dream of actually moving to the Unknown by opening my mind to new possibilities. . . let’s talk about it!!

I’ve been living in Zaragoza for about a year and a half now and this is spot on. It’s a beautiful city and I feel incredibly safe. It’s also very walkable (but the summer heat and the windy winters can take you by surprise). It’s incredibly freeing to not need to own a car or being able to just go out at night anytime. You’ll always find a bus, train or tram that will take you wherever you need to go quickly. The language barrier can and will get to you though. Most times I feel very alone because people simply don’t slow down to let you in on their conversations (not their duty at all but it’s still awkward lol). Compared to other big cities in Spain, I find that Zaragoza has a better ratio of employment opportunities to cost of living and that’s the main reason that got me here. Also you can be in Madrid or Barcelona in less than 90 minutes by high speed train.

How would you describe the people there? Do you feel like it’s very difficult to fit in? What about making friends? Would you say the city is happening or more sleepy/orderly?
