Hotel Partner Romareda Zaragoza

... streets and some clear and sane mind, we found a camping site to park our RV in spend a night....<br><br>I found Zaragoza very quiet town. It's got a big cathedral and a square in front of it, statue of Goya and few other nice things.<br><br>But at night it's completely different. Lots of people on the streets, bars start filling at 7 p.m. and are full until 3 a.m. So, for us it was - Party time!!!<br>

... br>Zaragoza is ... hot - well over 30 degrees! Luckily, there is a fair bit of shade in the old town, so I tried to stay relatively cool as I made it over to the hostel. There was a bit of a wait to check in, as there was a shift change taking place. I dumped off my bag, and was off to sightsee. Zaragoza is famous for La Basilica de Nuestra Senora del Pilar, a massive edifice looking over an even more massive plaza. Unfortunately, Zaragoza didn't seem ...

June 14, Sunday<br><br>I think I lost a day somewhere along the line. Anyway we left this morning after a long wait for the woman to come at 10, she was late, as the elderly man on the reception did not know how to take a credit card payment. So much for being ready to leave 1 hour before our scheduled time, we left late.<br><br>We are on toll highways to get us to and around Barcelona. They are pretty cheap ...

Boring 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.

... it was worth spending the money on them we haven't been cold once since using them will soon find out over the next few nights. Next day we headed off to Todra Gorge to meet up with a Abdula who is a guy Chris meet last time he was travelling through Morocco, he invited us to stay at his house instead of bush camping so we picked him up in town and then went shopping for dinner that night his family were going to cook for us. We bought so much food and well under budget as been a ...

... you care about, with who you have had so many great times, that get on planes to come and see you (in Madrid/New York/Argentina/New Zealand/Australia/France) that go out of their way to get you gifts, that stand by you, that accept you and never judge you, well when you have an abundance of these people that are in the very place that you are leaving well its hard... but nothing lasts forever i guess and even if when i get back and some of them are not there, they all ...

... 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.

... Road e.t.c). The entire place- the décor, atmosphere e.t.c, just muttered a three word sentence to me; "This is ****". I left and went up to the Grand Café based entirely on the name. I once went to the "Amsterdam Grand Café" in Romania and, after informing the woman at the bar several times that Carlsberg wasn't Romanian, managed to have a really good time and sink a few beers. I wondered if lightning would strike twice. Just ...

... then they just about ran out of gas (not a good start to a long day!) we finally arrived saw the place and zeke still wasn't there. He finally rang to say his van was almost dead so we found him and his exhaust was sheared off at the extrators so he got AA on the case but it took a couple of hours, sat around soaking up the sun then they finally showed up and winched the van onto the tow truck. We followed zeke in the tow truck there ...

... Most people in Spain seem to eat dinner around 10pm, which is pretty late compared to what we are used to. There are 19 Spaniards, 9 of whom work for a company called Vodafone. Most live in Madrid, but some are from Barcelona, Pamploma, Bilboa etc. There are 20 Anglos I think, of which 6 are from Calgary! Crazy. There is another Canadian, a few Americans, 2 Australians, a couple Brits and an Irish gal. Quite a mix, I didn´t expect to see so ...
