A welcome lie in after two days of travelling and then into the city for some sightseeing.
Part of the preserved section of the 3rd century city wall
Basilica del Pilar [no photos allowed] stands in great splendour and our first place to visit.
An important Christian pilgrimage site , this baroque place of worship has a most magnificent high altar piece and the Regina Martyrum dome was painted by Goya.

| The Zuda o Azuda was the headquarters in 13th century of the Muslim governors and has seen many changes. It is now a tourist board. |

Goya is mentioned everywhere and a museum houses many of his works
We were recommended a visit to the La Seo Cathedral, just 'wow'
Rebuilt from 1316 to 1319 in the Gothic style the high altar is just an amazing item.
Gold work, paintings and carvings are almost too much to take in.
There are so many places to visit in
this wonderful city but bad knees and 6500 steps were all I could manage.
We finished our day with a meal at the Buffalo Resturant.
