Spring!

What a joke! Officially it's spring, but the weather is extreme. In Jaca:

In Senegüé, near Saniñánigo:

(this one, taken by my friend Elena, is perfect!)

Meanwhile, in Zaragoza, the wind is blowing. Opposite our flat an aerial got blown over by a gust of wind and the fire brigade had to come and take it down. They were there for at least 45 minutes.

Excitement for Tuesday dinnertime!

Tarazona revisited

Yesterday we had a day trip from Zaragoza to Tarazona. It's just over an hour's drive, first on a toll motorway and then a winding country road with quite a lot of lorries on it.
Since our last visit in 2013 they have done a bit more work on the cathedral restoration. Everything looked clean and well-cared for.

Tarazona has a bullring which is made of an octagon of 32 homes. It was built in the 1790s and used as a bullring until 1870. The first time I saw it, it was being used as a car park, but now you can see the elegant structure perfectly.
