Here´s some pictures from our last little ´tour´ outside of Catalunya. We hired a car, and took off to the road on a Saturday afternoon, nice and easy, on our way to Huesca. About five hours later, we arrived to the camping site, where we spent the night. (Quite a new experience for Susan, poor thing, I am not sure she slept at all that night!) --

Anyways... the next morning we went to Zaragoza, where we visited the Roman City (a couple of amazing museums, including an old Roman Theater)... and in the afternoon we visited an Almudejar palace, a mixture of Muslim and Christian architecture, absolutely amazing.

By late afternoon we were absolutely knackered, so we started our way back to Barcelona. After a couple of hours on the road we decided it was too unnerving and tense; we were doing 140Kmph, and other cars were flying past doing 200Kmph and over... and since it was getting darker, and it was a Sunday afternoon (when everybody else is also on the road back to Barcelona) we spent the night at a little two-star motel at Lérida (Lleida). The next morning, nice and easy, we strolled back into Barcelona, with plenty of time to wash the car, have lunch, and a nice long siesta.
