San Sebastian, Biriatou, Pamploma, and Zaragoza

We started our road trip with a stop in Zaragoza, were we walked around the main plaza for a bit and then headed on towards Pamploma. Both are nice cities, we like Pamploma better and would suggest to anyone who wants to visit it to visit during the 'Running of the Bulls'; it would definitely add the excitement of the small city.


On each end of the square in Zaragoza, they had two identical fountains. THis meant that Eve had to spend twice as much time checking out fountains. Thankgoodness it was a warm dry day.


Because of the World Expo in Zaragoza, they had built a few new fountains, this was one that looked nice, but was a magnet for little kids and wasn't set up for their safety.


THe Basilica in Zaragoza; you can't tell in this photo but the roof is multi colored. Very cool


At least Tricia was excited to be in Pamploma, even if Eve couldn't care less.

THis is the back of our hotel in Biriatou, a small town just on the french side of the Spain/France border. It was perfect. Quite, cheap, clean, nice, with great views.


San Sebastian. We liked how green San Sebastian is. We both agreed that it was the prettiest city in SPain, and the most unique. Different from the dry lands of Barcelona and Madrid.




Eve and Mark shouting hooray that they found another fountain, Eve loves fountains. She would have loved this one more if she could have put her hands in it.
