We spent the week in Zaragoza for Fiestas del Pilar. Amazing place well worth a city break visit.
The streets are lined with hundreds of thousands of people (mostly in traditional dress) queuing to bring flowers to the Virgin in Plaza del Pilar.
A huge pyramid structure quickly fills with flowers that remain there for the duration of the festival.
Catedral Basílica de Nuestra Señora del Pilar.
We also had a special visitor... Nadim! Here we are, looking sexy in our festival scarves.
This is the ancient Muslim palace Aljaferia.
Beautiful interiors, with Islamic and Spanish influence. Probably best to do a guided tour as I can't really tell you much more about it.
Here we are having a song and dance inside.
There was cool exhibition of Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American design.
It also has impressive views off the city from the rooftop.
Took a photo of this on the roundabout - it looks pretty ancient.
Thanks for coming to see us Nads. Stay classy.
