Zaragoza 7/5 – 7/7

7/5
So we woke up on the 5th at 7:30 am to get to the bus station. This is unheard of in Spain, as the Spanish normally wake up around noon after staying out until about 5am every night. Anyway, we had a nice walk, passed the Arc de Triumf of Barcelona and made it to the bus station.

Here is a picture of what most of the bus stations look like, or something like this.


We arrived in Zaragoza about 4 hours later, and hopped on a local bus to get to our Bed and Breakfast. It worked out perfect and we found it with no difficulty. Our place for the next 2 days was called B&B Siesta. It is right across an old roman bridge from the old city and all of the tourist sites to see. It’s pretty convenient, so we will just walk both days to see the sites, and then come relax back in our room when we get tired.



This room has air conditioning, and we are loving it, in fact it is cold right now in our room! It has everything we need. We are able to use the kitchen and washer, which is great because we haven’t washed our clothes in about 2 weeks! We bought some pasta and sausage to cook for dinner and it was great.

The first day we walked around and saw the basilica and there was a mass going on while we were walking around. It was massive and ridiculously detailed. There sure was a lot of money and time put into making it.


We also saw the murallas romanos, the roman walls. Here are a few pictures.



There is apparently going to be some big cultural event in Zaragoza in 2016, and a lot of the buildings are being renovated, but we have no idea what it is going to be. Oh well.
