In Calatayud and Zaragoza, I found out about upcoming events that had be heading right back to those cities a week after returning home to X\u00e0tiva. In Calatayud it was the “Alfonsadas” festival, and in Zaragoza the opera.<\/p>\n

But before I get into those two events, here are a few pictures from Calatayud unrelated to the festival.<\/p>\n

\"Although<\/a>
Although the city dates back to pre-Roman times, the name Calatayud comes from the Moorish period, and means “Ayyub’s fort”.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Paseo Cortes de Arag\u00f3n is a lovely place to stroll, sit on a bench, or dine “al fresco”!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I stepped into a small cafe on the side of the Paseo to get a quick “cortado” coffee. As I sat at the long bar that ran the length of the place, a woman began positioning tapas. I have been to bars in Spain that served tapas- there are usually a dozen to twenty items behind glass that often look a bit less than fresh.

\"In<\/a>
In Spain, cycling not just a sport for the young! Here, later in the day before I headed back to Zaragoza, I caught the midday meal. I had the “menu del dia” – which is the ONLY way to eat when in Spain! This is a several course meal at a nice reasonable price. Anyway, a few tables away, a group of middle aged cyclists shared a few beers before heading on to the next town.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
