A long drive today, 450 miles from Galera to Zaragoza. I left Galera with brilliant blue skies, I am now wearing a fleece lined coat! What a revelation Zaragoza has been, it is a busy, buzzing city with lots of interesting sites and history, I walked around the city for nearly four hours and that wasn't only because I got lost again. They have a massive cathedral, beautiful buildings housing museums and galleries, Roman ruins, the River Ebro with pretty bridges and no end of pavement cafés for people watching. There is even a theatre which has a wide choice of shows, from drama to ballet and opera. Well worth a long weekend if not a full week visit.

ReplyDeleteAnyway got my coffee and map to hand so tracking your progress, don't forget those photographs sounds like great places. Always good to meet up with old pals, know it's real when it's like you've never been away, how long have they lived in Galera ? I'm getting itchy feet the more of your blog I read ... list just got bigger, note to self ... get the car serviced !!
Is Zargosa colder because it's higher ... I am loving the sound of that place.
Got first frosty and sunny day of the winter here, very nice so me thinks boots on today and go and enjoy it.
Look forward to next update and more places for my list.
Steady as you go lad ... Happy Days
