Calle Los Fayos 11 Zaragoza, Aragón, Spain and Canary Islands, 50017, 976-340-440
Spent another night on a parking lot near the city centre. When trying to find a decent place to park our van near all the sights, we got caught up in a lybyrinth of narrow streets, filled with cars (sometimes even in the middle of the crossings...). Well, Boštjan is a very good driver, but my nerves are not as good as I thought.<br><br>With the help of a security guard at a bank in one of the ...
Zaragoza, Aragon, Spain moki_travels... up on the foot of some guy's bed. I bounced off that bed, and stumbled backwards against my own bunk bed. The whole exchange sounded something like this:<br><br>Me: "Ow! $%^#! Ow! Sorry!"<br>Guy in the bed: "What the &*%$?"<br>Me: "$%^#! Sorry! %^$&! Ow! $%^@! Ow!"<br><br>I now know the pain and shame that Mary feels on a regular basis, and vow not to make fun of any more of her Mary Moments ... for a whole week ... <br><br>Couldn't find any ...
Zaragoza, Aragón, Spain and Canary Islands pwong... sign on the bridge says 15.23 and 33 degrees, yes, it is very hot. We walk past some Roman shop ruins and their great sewage system. There is a statue of Caesar Augustus with stone arched walls behind him. Some of the brick work here is the influence of the Muslim era.<br><br>The Basilica de Nuestra Sra. Del Pilar is really beautiful outside, with statues along the top, colourful tiles on the roof and about ...
Zaragoza, Aragón, Spain and Canary Islands dancejillBoring long day on the A23, highest col 1223m.<br> <br>Looking for aire in Zaragoza when Brits James, Clare and Katie in their motorhome took us under their wing to the park they'd already stayed in. Left over from 2008 water based expo, with typically spanish rusty iron "sculpture".<br><br>35 degree C until light shower cooled us all off.<br><br>Bren washed her hair in the public drinking fountain, starting a trend with the other family.
Saragossa, Aragon, Spain davebren... you get it for a lot cheaper than what we do when we are shopping. We headed back to his house through the Gorge which was great views and seeing donkeys and women carrying produce along the roads. We meet his family including mother, father, brothers and sister he comes from a family of 6brothers and 1sister so we sat in the reception room waiting for our mint tea, the room was not very big at all so all 28 of us squeezed in. Chris and Gary checked out his house as we didn't ...
Spain, Portugal, West Africa, Spain kirstenian... up for getting right amongst it with my second family, that of Elena, that treat me with such generosity, warmth, kindness and love its hard not to find it overwhelming at times and also later the dreading big 30th party with the other tribe that make Zaragoza such a joy to be here, all of Elena's friends, whom again are so great to be with its seems stupid to affiliate them with the prefix Elena when i say friends. Top top people... really open, friendly and genuine, in ...
Zaragoza, Aragón, Spain and Canary Islands elrigster... years old built of dry fit stone and stil standing: From Zaragoza we travelled ,ore easterly toward Lleida Catalan. Amongst the ochre coloured rocks and mist blue with mountain ranges were immense wind farms. Turbines and tozers several hundreds of feet high. Onward our lovely 1 litre Fiat Punta purred toward LLieda.
Lliedia, Catalonia, Spain and Canary Islands hollingers... Mary ever appeared to Saint James there, or that Saint James ever even visited the spot, or Spain in general really. There are other stories about him involving Spain, most of them seem to stem from the clergy trying to work up Christian fervour during the "holy" wars against the Muslims (he is supposed to have appeared in several battles and slaughtered hundreds of Muslims single handedly, as well as Native Americans when the Spanish began exploring ...
Zaragoza, Spain englishanddrunk... had Evanescence blasting out of it and, recalling my brief infatuation with them back in 2003, I went inside. I first realised I was in a less than classy establishment when the barmaid used one of the candles on the bar to light her fag. Not that classiness has ever been something I've been picky about, what with being a proud and frequently drunk member of the working class. I ordered a beer and sat down, before noticing I was in ...
Zaragoza, Spain englishanddrunk... Cy managed to tie it up with a good old wire coat hanger (go the kiwi intinuity) when the cops turned up and said he had to get off road cos it was a dangerous place. Luckily they escorted them (sounding like a tractor) to a mechanic who amazingly welded it back together within an hour and a half for only 45 euro.....bargain! So back on the road and we hear from zeke and his van is almost fixed as well so we head off and he was supposed ...
