Top Attractions in Zaragoza - Spain
Zaragoza is the regional capital of Aragon - the 'bread basket' of North East Spain. It resides of the River Ebro, which flows from the mountains to the north of the La Rioja wine region and out into the Mediterranean at the Costa del Azahar. The city is a beautiful place to visit no matter what the time of year. It also has some rather unusual attractions.
La Seo
La Seo is a spectacular multi-turreted cathedral that was built on top of an Arab mosque in the 12th century. It is one of Spain's architectural wonders, its three naves revealing a multitude of styles including additions and alterations of Gothic, Baroque, Renaissance and neo-classical design. The outer Mudejar wall and the detail it supports is well worth the visit alone!
Arab Baths
Arab Baths are found all around Spain. The ones at Zaragoza though have a unique history. It is thought by scholars that they were built on the site of Jewish Baths. The Baths' proximity to the Zaragoza synagogue seems to support this theory.
The Bullring - La Misericordia
Bullrings are undeniably one of Spain's most recognisable symbols, and there are certainly more famous bullrings than the bullring in Zaragoza. No other bullring though is likely to match the one at Zaragoza for its sheer drama and architectural magnificence. If you're not impressed by the retractable Teflon roof over a structure that draws parallels with the Coliseum in Rome, I'll eat my hat!
Zuda Tower
Zuda Tower is the only surviving piece of the magnificent Zuda Palace from 10th century Zaragoza. It was built on the site of the Roman wall, and built from Roman materials. Many of Aragon's kings have resided at Zuda Palace down the centuries. Today Zuda Tower is a tourist office.
La Lonja
La Lonja is an important addition to Zaragoza's architectural heritage. Built between 1541 and 1551 it was originally designed as an exchange (contracting exchange) in which farmers, growers and dealers would meet to trade agricultural produce. At the time it was undoubtedly one of the most important buildings in all of Aragon.
On entering La Lonja you will find an impressive building that oozes Gothic and Renaissance charm. The vaulted ceilings are truly magnificent and the detail in the carvings on the columns and on the walls of the Exchange exquisite.

November and December are traditionally slow months for real estate sales. People would rather focus on the various holidays, rather than think about buying and selling houses. Well, this year things appear to have slowed a little bit earlier than usual. Based on the towns I’m tracking below, the number of closed sales for single family homes was down 31% overall when comparing November 2008 to November 2007. That’s fairly significant. Here are the monthly stats. Data comes from the local Mult

How about a 4-bedroom, fixer-upper with an attic and full basement?
I think it?s safe to say that selling your home should be classed as one of the most significant legal transactions you will ever go through with, so it is important that you know your legal rights surrounding it. Moving home isn?t something that you just wake up and decide to do one day, it takes a lot of thought and even more planning. There are so many legal obligations to sort through meaning you really need to know what you are doing. In Michigan the real estate market has been really goo
Right now, many sellers are finding that they’re not exactly getting what they thought they would when they try to sell their homes. In some cases, sellers are deciding to forego an immediate sale at a price they find less than palatable, and instead focus on renting their homes, as they try to wait out the market. Renting isn’t always the optimal choice for a seller because it doesn’t free up liquidity if they need to immediately purchase another home. Additionally, sellers have to act as lan

Another month has ended, so it’s time for real estate statistics in the Greater Hartford area. The data you see here is a result of houses that mostly went under contract in August, September and maybe early October. The sentiment among the majority of Realtors right now is that the market is very slow. There is a lot of uncertainty with the economy and the election. Hopefully after today, Buyers will have one less thing to worry about (who will be the President), so they can focus on thinking
Many times relocation can’t be avoided. When you get a new job or a promotion that requires you to move in just a couple of weeks, what will you do to sell your home that fast? In today’s economy, it’s almost guaranteed that you will have to face the challenge of putting your house on the market and moving on out. Sometimes, the spouse with a new job can go ahead and move while the other spouse stays to take care of the home selling matters. But, many times that’s just not possible, so what d
Are you looking for the latest in property in the world of real estate? Why not give a condo a try? Condos are a form of real estate that are similar in size and appearance to an apartment; the difference being that with an apartment you are renting the space and with a condo you are purchasing the property space. Sadly many people often dismiss a condo as a holiday residence that you can?t really set up home in; yes this can be one use of a condo but what isn?t realized is that more and more
