Silken Reino De Aragon Zaragoza

... streets and some clear and sane mind, we found a camping site to park our RV in spend a night....

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.

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!!!

... Spain was cited as being one of the world leaders in this regard, as there are a number of windy regions, and the sun seemingly never stops shining in most of the country.

This made me wonder - why haven't scientists found a way to harness Spain's greatest resource, its countless beautiful women? Laugh all you want, but humankind needs to change its approach to energy consumption, so we need to think outside the box. Perhaps the Spanish ...

... 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.

The Basilica de Nuestra Sra. Del Pilar is really beautiful outside, with statues along the top, colourful tiles on the roof and about ...

Boring long day on the A23, highest col 1223m.

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".

35 degree C until light shower cooled us all off.

Bren washed her hair in the public drinking fountain, starting a trend with the other family.

... 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 ...

We said goodbye to our wonderful host Sylvia in Guadalahara. The morning light and warmth felt like late May back home. We took to the A2/E90 heading NE towards Zaragoza. One hour later we turned off the highway to visit an old Roman fort on the top of a mountain with a spectacular view, Mendinacellini. Structures ...

... was the appointed ruler of all the Muslims on Earth following the death of Mohammed. Following the first four Caliphs (known as the righteously guided or Rashidun Caliphs) the Umayyad dynasty came to power, ruling from Damascus in Syria. They were overthrown in 750 by the Abbasids and a majority of them were killed, however one of them escaped and fled to what is now Spain, establishing a rival Caliphate in the city of Cordoba, which ruled over most of ...

One of them, the plummier, then said: -But this comes from Doetinchem! Then I could not stand this any more and said: -Onmogelijk! Then they shut up. But it was a pause. The conversation took off soon afterwards. (to continue)
