Hotel Castillo de Ateca Zaragoza

... br><br>We walked up an avenue that edged the old town - trees were interlaced overhead, (and to each other) along the avenue where the majority of the population had gathered to promenade or meet up with friends for a chat. It was a place for people watching on a grand scale.<br><br>We looked in on the tourist office to get a map of the town and visited three magnificent churches within the space of several hundred ...

... recommend an organized tour, such as I did with the "Unique Traveller", I don't think it would be easy to visit all the wineries we did alone. And of course you want to sample the products and not spit !! Alberto Hagemann is an exceptional guide for this area, I'd definitely recommend him.<br><br>I wouldn't recommend an organised tour for the Basque Country, though you'd need a car to really explore some of the inland areas which I understand are great, though ...

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, Bo&#353;tjan 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 ...

... the nap, I went for a walk through the old town, then down Paseo de la Independencia, through the newer parts, and eventually ending up back at the Plaza del Pilar. There was a cafe that earlier caught my eye with a nice selection of sandwiches, so I ended up back there for a light dinner. The plaza is almost too big, so it feels empty, since there's nothing taking place in the middle of it all, and seems a bit soulless. Sitting outside, I realized ...

... also left today, getting picked up by her Basque boyfriend. Over a few beers, we talked spanish politics. It was darkened by the news of the Burgos bombings that had occurred just hours ago, and only a few days´ walks away. It was very interesting to hear their perspective. With tim and someo thers, we also talked a bunch about history, the learning and coping with it, and about America. It is great to be able to talk about such things, mostly WWII, but also very ...

... easy but we spent lot of time walking on a road! we prefer the pilgrimage by walking on footpaths... since that day we hate walking on roads!<br><br>Navarrete is a small village with a charming refuge and all the services u may need (supermarkets, ATM...)<br>

... cities in the Camino, we visited the whole city in a few hours cuz is a little bit small. We finished our first walking week in this city so we made a farewell party in c/Laurel, the most famous street in Logroño, many people get drunk that day... i don't know how they felt for walking the day after that party... <br>We will come back in my next free week to continue the camino from Logroño to Burgos...<br>

This stage has no difficulties, the landscapes begin to change, we left the woods behind us and we begin to see beatiful fields til we reach our destination.<br><br>In Los Arcos I don't recommend the main refuge... when we were there we saw lots of bugs, an unpleasant smell, a small kitchen... the village is not very impressive but the main church (worth to see)<br>

... NYC in that statement "the city that never sleeps" maybe in times square but you try and find a bar a 3 in the morning and lets see how far you get... i stand to prove corrected on that) museums, the longest and warmest summers, the forever cristal blue sky, and most importantly the spirit, i know it sounds like ***** and i even got mugged there one night but just being out on the street you get a feeling for what the people are all about and they more than anything make ...

... speaking to her host mother at all on Friday so most likely her host mother did say it was bad that she was drunk. My question is-why wouldn't she repeat it the next day when she was clear-headed? I told my family the entire situation (which was very difficult but as always, they were patient) and they said last year their student did something similar. She came home very drunk and started taking off her clothes in the living ...
