Sercotel Boston Zaragoza

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 ...

... civil war.<br><br>I walked back through the plaza towards the hostel, and regretted not staying in San Sebastian another night. Zaragoza wasn't that great, but I always maintain that visiting a place you don't like is a valuable experience, because it helps you refine your tastes and makes the good places seem even better. And besides, if you never went, how would you know it wasn't any good?<br><br>Back at the hostel, one of the bunkmates was a ...

... spires of various lengths with something different on top of each pillar.<br><br>The inside is incredible with extremely high ceilings, with paintings on the tops and plaster angels and cherubs all around.<br><br>The organ is huge and the choir area is wood chairs and walls with ornate carvings on the wood. The nave is incredible with so many carvings and niches to look at.<br><br>Around the corner there is ...

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 is were all the big fights happen and were the Spanish royal family come to watch. Next stop was Cadiz and then back up to Cordoba, Granada and then meeting Chris (Driver) and Gary (Trip Leader) in Marbella where we stayed for 1night and then headed to La Linea in Spain to wait for all the others on the trip to arrive into Gibraltar which is UK territory but all you need to do is walk or drive across the border which is where the airport is. We stayed here for 5nights while ...

... going out relentlessly to cool bars and casually seeing faces from the TV in nightclubs and on the street it was never going to be my city, i mean its big, dirty and bit up its own **** at times and also it seems to lose its identity a little with the amount of people living there, don't get me wrong if you are in some amazing job making a rack of money you are sorted but really how many people are living that "dream", with a flat over looking the Thames and that, i bet its ...

... 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.

... for my mum, and for the rest of my family. Not because I believe in God, but because I believe in hope. I wandered out of the square to the Black Horse English pub and threw back a Heineken before heading back to Zaragoza train station and jumping on the fast train to Madrid (also discovered that train station has comfy red settees you can sit on, it's the little things in life). I declined the complimentary headphones this time, although Charlie Wilsons war ...

... I'm not going to say I'm ****** of that she's DC-ed (Disciplinary Committee) because she deserves but there's something about the whole thing that bothers me. I don't even know what it is. The truth is, Natalie has trouble with moderation and I know this about her. I also didn't really hang out with her on Friday and didn't even see her on Saturday (so it's not that I could get in trouble too and that's why I'm bothered). I can't ...

... Americans. Marta's father joked to me by asking why I had forgotten to bring my small American flag and Uncle Sam hat. At around 11:50AM, John's plane landed, and they soon discovered that all pieces of luggage were accounted for, except for one. After filling out an incidental report with Iberia Airlines, the only thing to do was wait (the luggage would arrive two days later). We all got on the bus and headed to the historic center of Pamplona, the capital of the ...
