Zaragoza

7/6
Second day was more sightseeing in the city. We went to The Aljaferia Palace which was declared a national monument in 1931.
Pictures of the Palace




It has a lot of history and was used for many events in the past including the palace for the king and queen, but today it is being used obviously as a museum for tourists but also as the Regional Assembly of Aragon. Aragon is the province made up of 3 different cities, one being Zaragoza.

This regional assembly makes the laws and controls the actions of the government.
Here is one of the rooms where they meet.


There is a little bit of history for you…
We also walked around and saw a few more sites, here are a few pictures.



We were going to go into the church, but they charged too much just to see the same thing that we have been seeing everywhere. We thought that was quite comical, so we did not go see it.

We also bought some cheap white clothes for our time in Pamplona, so we started getting very excited for it.

We also went out later that night after watching a futbol game on tv. We wanted to see the basilica lit up at night, and it sure was a site. It was beautiful. Lots of lights. Pictures of the Basicila at night.




We also saw the people setting up a huge tv for the Spain game the following night. It is a very big game for Spain as they have never even made it this far in the world cup… Go Spain!! This ends our time in Zaragoza as we caught an early bus to head for Pamplona to see the running of the bulls!
