Over seven centuries after being built in the early XIVth century, the Tower of El Salvador still leaves us speechless. As it was the last tower in Teruel to be erected, it is among the esteemed landmarks that have been inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List in 1986. The Tower actually consists of two towers, one inside the other. The Almohade model was indeed kept in mind; the architects and builders were Mudéjars, who were Muslims employed by the Christians at the time From outside, we can enjoy the brick and ceramic calligraphies as well as the street at its feet, as if intending not to disturb. Inside, 122 steps lead us to three rooms whose mortar plastered walls keep charming graffiti from the time of its erection; and we keep spinning upstairs like dancing Dervishes up to the bellfry. Once there, we lean out, take our time to feel the air, listen to the whisper and watch the sunshine on the glazed ceramics, the urban tapestry of Teruel, ''The City of Towers.''

Canfranc was a smallish village near the Aragonese border in the central Pyrenees. Towards the end of the 19th century it was decided that a railway line should be built across the mountain pass, the last stage being an eight-kilometre tunnel opening out into the steep, narrow valley of Arañones. On the 18th July 1928, King Alfonso XIII inaugurated the massive station building, designed to impress travellers with its grandeur and modernity. The railway line in France was closed when a bridge fell down in 1970, but in Spain trains have continued to run, slowly and not very frequently, but they run. The station, on the other hand, was allowed to go to rack and ruin until recently, when the Aragonese government bought it. A fair amount of work has been done and more will be needed, but what we saw was truly impressive. A guide took us in and explained the history of the building and the adventures of the railway in both Civil and World War. Depth interesting and worthwhile.

This village is remarkable place for Spanish history - King Fernando el Catolico was born there in 15th century. He had so many titles (Fernando II of Aragon, Fenando V of Sicily, Fernando II of Naples, etc) that we wouldn’t have space to mention everything. It is well preserved, very clean, you’ll find many places beautiful and even charming. Church, medieval market, palaces, etc and a lot of cats. Place also Important for Jewish history.

Monastery of San Juan de la Peña (really two monasteries, the old and new ones) is located in the surroundings of Jaca, on mountains. In fact, it is also a picnic place, where can come all family to stay a day with a childen park and picnic tables close to the parking. Also, near the parking there is the new monastery, where you can see remains and a exposition about the history of old and new ones. Really interesting. After, we catch a bus to go to the old monastery (some kilometers far) and we could visit it in a guided visit. It is a building inside the rocks, so it is wonderful and curious. The guided visit was very interesting and the last cloister is fantastic. A very recommendable visit.

Reviewed By SilviaTheChincheta - Antwerp, Belgium
El Tubo it is called like that because it is an area of very narrow streets in the city center of Zaragoza, like a “tube”. It is very known because it is dull of small bars and restaurants serving the best tapas and meals in town. The ambience is incredible. Locals choose to do a bit of bar hopping. They go from one bar to the other to eat the specialties from one or other place. They are mostly standing outside, it will be difficult in busy days to find places to sit, but in my opinion is part of the charm. I don’t think you can eat bad there, but my favourite places are: Doña Casta (croquetas), Meli Melo (everything!), bodegas Almau (anchovis tapas). If you are in Zaragoza and you don’t come eat here once, it is like not being in Zaragoza at all.
