  • If you are near Zaragoza, reserve at least one day to visit Expo Zaragoza 2008. The theme of the exposition is Water and Sustainable Development. At the end of the pedestrian bridge, the text in the wood pieces informs of the quantity of water required for the production of a series of goods. All of us are responsible for the use of water and saving water is a must for each of us.

    Things To Do: Expo 2008: Torre del Agua

  • Walk up to Torre del Agua. Though the height is equivalent to twenty something floors, there are ramps along the periphery instead of stairs and the ascent is comfortable. The views of the Expo and the city from the top floors are excellent.
    The sculpture that hangs from the top, called splash, changes the colour as you go up, since the images shown in the screens at the bottom change.
    The lifts are reserved for disabled people and pregnant women.

  • There are some places where you can refresh after some hours walking from pavilion to pavilion and queuing. This picture was taken outside the Aquarium. After some minutes sitting there, with the feet in the fresh water, we were able to go on!

    Things To Do: Aljafería Palace

  • This palace was built in the 11th century, during the Moorish domination. When Zaragoza was reconquered, the palace became the residence of the christian kings of Aragón. Later, it would be also the palace of the Catholic Kings, Isabel de Castilla and Fernando de Aragón.
    The Aljafería is a good example of Mudejar architecture.

  • Zaragoza, like Aragón, is full of samples of mudéjar architecture. This church, built in the 14th century, is a good example.
