Zaragosa

Day 37 More rain forecast later.Andy went for a morning 5 mile run on one of the many well sign posted long distance walking paths from Albarracin( all levels) all with wonderful views .I went for a walk past the dinosaur museum/sports hall (wild camping outside) We enjoyed this camp site very much, no English spoken but much warmth emanating at reception, some lovely bungalows too Drove up a pass recommended by kindly tourist info person , to site of cave paintings , another stunning gorge walk and then rain set in so we set off for Zaragoza, doubling back first to Gea de Albarracin a beautiful drive lined with tall yellow hued trees.Arrived at Ciudad de Camping Zaragoza on the outskirts of the city , very institutionalised feel to this large camp site (19€ for night,25€ with electricity ) communal changing in showers .Caught bus from Rosales de Canal to end of line Puerto de Carmen1.35€( nearest stop to old city for evening wander ) Huge cathedral, Goya museums galore( his birthplace ) and Caesar Augusta museum( important Roman town) all ' sight seed' out however, and wanting some peace and quiet, so we decided to check out the delights of this very busy city on our next trip over and leave tomorrow morning for Bilbao as an overnighter tomorrow and then a final weekend in Picos de Europas before heading for Santander in time for Wednesday's sailing Met several motorhome/caravanners going in the opposite direction taking their vehicle to Benidorm for a long stay and coming home for 6 weeks at Christmas and back out again in January 2017, interesting idea this wintering over
