La margen izquierda, Zaragoza

The left bank of the Ebro in Zaragoza.
We took the tram to the other side of the river and walked from the old stone bridge along Avenida Cataluña. Found the old north railway station building (1861) now a cultural centre. There be dragons:

From the station a couple more blocks to the Casa Solans. It's a spectacularly restored Modernist style building.






Over the river, the setting sun behind the towers of the Pilar basilica and the cathedral.

we walked back through the old parts of the city,

past the great big messy nests of the ring-necked parakeets,
the 16th century casa Morlanes
and the 14th century monastery of San Sepulcro. 
Then the long walk back through the city centre.
