Rome, London, or Marrakech: 12 getaways from Zaragoza for the May bank holiday 2025

The 2025 work calendar hasn’t been particularly generous to Aragonese residents when it comes to long weekends. Holidays like San Valero and Cincomarzada, eagerly awaited in Zaragoza, fell on Wednesdays, complicating any attempts at a long getaway. The same goes for San Jorge, which this year also falls midweek, limiting the chances of taking advantage of a few days off.

However, Labor Day finally offers a small respite. May 1st, a national holiday, falls on a Thursday and allows for a slightly longer getaway with just one day of vacation. It’s the first real opportunity of the year to link several days together without much planning effort and, if booked early, without breaking the bank.

Therefore, in this article, we’ve compiled the direct flights departing from Zaragoza Airport between April 29 and May 4. A selection of domestic and international destinations for those who want to take advantage of this first “travelable” long weekend of 2025.
