We ended our visit to the “siege” area of Zaragoza back on
the main tourist trail
We walked along the river Ebro towards the city centre, with
impressive views ahead both sides of the river. It reminded us of our first night in
Seville when we had done something very similar.
Our walk took us to the famous Plaza del Pilar, where the cafe's on the shaded side of the square seemed to be very popular with tourists and locals alike.....
......the beer was very reasonable for such a tourist
spot......
....the view of the Basilica opposite second to none......
.....and the beer went down very well indeed.
After our evening meal in the hotel we went out to explore
the city by night, and to find the sole
remaining city gate from the siege of 1808.
The Puerta del Carmen is now a roundabout on the Passeo de
Pampolona and the traffic was so busy
that we could only view it from a distance.
