Zaragoza

So my first trip since moving to Valencia was to Zaragoza.  It is a 4 hour drive by bus to the north of Valencia.  Zaragoza hosted Expo 2008 and is also home to a castle, el Palacio de la Alfareria, and a large cathedral, la Basilica de Nuestra Senora del Pilar.

We spent three days and two night in Zaragoza and we had a great time.  It was everyone's first hostel experience and we were very surprised at how nice our place was.  There were seven of us and we were lucky enough to get a 10 bed room to ourselves, with our own bathroom and shower.

We were unlucky with the weather on saturday but we were still able to got out and take some good pictures.  Sunday was a great day and we went back to some of the places and got some better pictures.

The night life in Zaragoza was pretty crazy.  Our first night we were able to experience the spanish cuisine of tapas.  They were delicious, as it was just bread, ham, and cheese, a mix that cannot be beat.  Calle de Temple was packed with people both nights and I'm pretty sure that every kid in Zaragoza was there.

More trips are being planned.  And yes these planning sessions are being done after I have gone to class.
