BARCELONA, ZARAGOZA and TERUEL
This is a four day and three night trip to Barcelona, Zaragoza and Teruel.
Day one: Teruel and Zaragoza
We'll arrive in Teruel and will have a guided tour. There are many monuments here that are world heritage sites such as the Tower, the roof and dome of the Cathedral of Santa María de Mediavilla, the Tower and Church of San Pedro, the Tower of St. Martin Church and the Tower of the Church of the Savior.
The city of Teruel has it's own legend of Romeo and Juliet. At heart of this story based on trued events are two young lovers - Isabel de Seguara and Diego de Marcilla who lived during the twelfth century.
The story of love between these two is as sad as it is beautiful: the youngsters fell deeply in love and dreamed of getting married. However, the girls parents had their own ideas about marriage and dreamed of a wealthy husband for their daughter. They said that she could marry her love on one condition: over the course of five years the boy would need to earn a fortune to be able to marry their daughter. But on the last day of the five years they married Isabel to a nobleman of Teruel. Diego returned the same day and upon seeing the wedding, died of saddness and sorrow. The following day Isabel also died of unhappiness upon seeing Diegos tomb.
The young lovers were buried together and the people of Teruel decided to immortalise their memory and built a mausoleum in honour of the pair. Here in the bronze sacrophagus there are sculptures of the lovers holding hands.
Today you can visit the mauseoleum of the Lovers of Teruel which has lots of interesting things to see.
After lunch we'll make our way to Zaragoza - the capital of Aragón.
(The fifth largest city in Spain abd an international city) where we'll spend a night in the city centre.
We'll have tapas for dinner in the bodegas in the centre and we'll go out after with the other erasmus students in the city. If you like tasting new dishes then you'll have the opportunity to taste the famous Teruel ham and of course try all sorts of tapas which you won't usually find in Valencia.
Day two: Zaragoza and Barcelona
In the morning we'll have a guided visit of the historic centre of Zaragoza.
Being a city with more than 2000 years of history it has many vestiges of the past.
A professional guide will give us a complete tour of the city, and will tell us its history and show us its attractions. This is a walk where we'll see the Basilica del Pilar (a symbol and main monument of the city), the Cathedral of the Salvador, the Aljaferia Palace and the Stone Bridge among many other things.
After lunch we'll go to Barcelona.
