Tractors and sunset

Here in Zaragoza, and in spain as a whole we are living the crisis provoked by the coronavirus, the covid 19. I've had one set of classes cancelled for 15 days and we really don't know how things will go. Are we going to need house arrest like they have in Italy? Will they cancel classes here like they have in Madrid? Who knows?
meanwhile, there has been a massive demonstration of tractors in Zaragoza, to protest against the low prices they receive for their produce-does the rest go to the retailers? The farmers say they don't get it.





Zaragoza was gridlocked. The big streets were packed with tractors. When I saw them at 13.45 they were all empty. By 16.00 they had gone. 

After the bitter cold and snow in Jaca last weekend it was nice to enjoy the comparative warmth in the Zaragoza evening.
