A walk by the river Ebro

 We went to the Ebro this afternoon to see a monument we'd spotted from the tram. It was just before six o'clock and as we looked, the light came on. It'sa map of Zaragoza on the river Ebro, from the time of the sieges, 1808 and 1809, and it's a monument to the thousands of people who died because of the sieges and were buried on the left bank of the river, just out of the city. 

Then we walked along the left bank to the old stone bridge. The basilica of el Pilar made a spectacular reflection in the water.
