I arrived in Zaragoza the capital of Aragon the 20th of October and stayed in the region for a month. Traveling through towns and hamlets, serpentine mountain passages, grasslands, and deserts in the rain, snow, and sun I discovered on foot and wheels varied landscapes, majestic vistas, friendly locals, and a breathtaking beautiful region of Spain.
