I got my bags packed on a roll heading out there and I'm ready to go looking real good

in my passport photo

amateur traveler episode 784. Today the Amateur Traveler talks about

cathedrals and chocolates, museums, and moudehar, Roman ruins and Fiestas as we go to Zaragoza, Spain.

Welcome to the amateur traveler. I'm your host Chris Christensen. Let's talk about

Zaragoza. I'd like to welcome the show Cat Driver from Paths and Postcards.com and

cat has come to talk to us about Zaragoza Spain.

Cat, welcome to the show.

Thank you so much for having me, Chris.

I'm really, really excited.

And Zerkos is an interesting place because I had to Google it.

I'll just press up here.

This is not one of those places I know, it's in Aragon which I know certainly

significant historically as a place in Spain but what was your connection with

Zaragoza? Chris you and everybody else has had to Google it because every time I have said to people that I lived in Spain and they ask me where and I see Zaragoza, I usually just get a blank stare and okay and then I have to explain it.

Zaragoza is between Barcelona and Madrid almost exactly and I was teaching

English there. I decided on Zaragoza because it sort of had everything I wanted.

I'm somewhere to live in Spain. It was very local, not much English, so I'd be forced to learn Spanish. Weather is great,

the transportation connections are great, and it has a really low cost of living, so I

thought it was the perfect place to go and teach English, and that's what drew me there.

Excellent. Well, and why do you think other people should go to Zaragoza?

I think other people should go to Zaragoza because it is wonderful.
