Usually I see paintings as opposed to sculpture so this was a nice change. This artist was super talented. His work speaks for itself and he really had some great pieces. The museum itself is also really really beautiful. I loved the layout and the incorporated video lessons as well on his process.

Absolutely stunning Basilica in the beautiful town of Zaragoza…read more I honestly was making a pit stop here and heard via word of mouth about the beautiful architecture and infectious city vibe and I can say they were 100% correct. It is honestly hard to miss this Basilica from any direction as it towers of the city, instantly drawing you towards it. Quick parking job and a walk to what I would call the center of town and again you immediately find yourself drawn towards this beautiful structure. No cost associated with the entrance fee, but donations are welcome. Based off the size and grandeur of the outside, expect even more inside, as this really brings forward the Roman Catholic church vibe. I'd suggest spending at least an hour quietly wandering the large halls admiring the beautiful baroque architecture. I was told there were not photos allowed, but most inside were just snapping away, so I cannot say with certainty that this is correct. Definitely something to throw on the list whether making a pit stop or staying in the city for vacation.

I had a solo weekend in Zaragoza, and included a visit to the Basilica Del Pilar. Definitely put it…read moreon your list of to-do's if you are in the area. I love visiting cathedrals in different countries. This is a Roman Catholic church which supposedly is the first church placed in Mary's name. The entrance is free but you can make donations if you light a candle for someone or if you just feel like it. I will usually light a candle for my grandparents, since they were/are Catholic. Lots of locals and tourists stop in. Regardless of your religious standing, the Baroque architecture is worth the time for admiration and several photos to keep as memories. There are various chapels within the basilica to view. I was fortunate to be visiting during October when they were having the Fiestas del Pilar in honor of the patron saint of the city, the Virgen del Pilar. The weather was perfect this time of year, as well. During the fiesta, there is a pyramid structure covered in floral arrangements. You can line up, take the stairs to the top of the pyramid, and have your photo taken with the Virgen del Pilar behind you. It only costed 5 Euros for the photo which can be retrieved once you get to the booth below. Across a short walkway, you can sit in the square outdoors at one of many restaurants and admire the Basilica and statues while you people watch and relax with a beer, coffee, and/or tapas. It was just lovely. Take a walk as there is also a museum and shops (including souvenir shops) nearby in the square. Hopefully they are open during your visit! I bought my grandmother something at the souvenir shop which she absolutely loved because her Church is also a church del Pilar. I was happy to bring her some joy. :-) On the other side of the Basilica is the river, but it's not very pretty and smelled odd in certain areas. There is a ferris wheel nearby on the Ebro river.
