Pamplona

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010


Main square

The next place we travel to was Pamplona. It was a nice city, but not as nice as the other. It was also kinda too rainy. Also the hostel was a little shitty. The receptionist told us that the hostel has a home feel, of course when we think that the he was living there. It’s also worth to mention that it’s not price savvy to stay at the hostels anymore. In San Sebastian we stayed in some pension in the very city centre and we paid less than for hostel! What a difference! Anyway, enjoy photos.


She was waiting for us… Maybe not…

Expo in Zaragoza

Thursday, August 26th, 2010


Expo is usually a big deal. Countries want to show themselves in the best, and they send there the best architects and artists to make great expositions. I believe this was the case of Zaragoza which held expo in 2008. Really beautiful architecture even though the Expo areal seems to be like a city of ghosts now. Who knows if the Spaniards didn’t have too big eyes again…

Zaragoza

A museum

Here are some pictures from a beautiful, but very windy Spanish city Zaragoza. Actually one more thing – this city has the most beautiful cathedral I have ever seen. Really interesting inside with about 16 or 20 chapels.
