1 April 2023 Zaragoza: 300 Days on the Road

 


We headed out to the Central Market for goodies.  We crossed over the old bridge and the birds were flying everywhere.  There were several small kids dressed in white robes, we guessed there was a ceremony at the church.  There was also a small farmers market by the Leaning Tower of Zaragoza and the Roman Wall.  The spinach we bought there was particularly sandy.  We got eggs and ham and a great filet of sole at the market.  We continued our walk around the town and went back over the river via a different bridge.  This time it was a pedestrian bridge, which we always like.  We were about to head out to a grand park when the weather turned.  Instead we walked along the rive on our side of the river for a bit.  We turned around just in time as the rain came soon after we were back int he apartment.  We cooked up a storm inside while it stormed outside.  The rains stopped and the clouds parted just at sunset so I got a few pictures of the sunset.

This tower appeared to be leaning, or are we unbalanced instead?
