Day 41 Saviñan to Zaragoza

It's quite a shock to have arrived in a more populated part of Spain after the emptiness of the Moncayo region that we have been cycling through for the last few days.
The roads are busier, the villages have more people around and there is quite a bit of industry.
It wasn't the most exciting ride today and the heat (36° this afternoon) made it quite gruelling.

The most frustrating thing was passing an area where the old road has been drowned by a new reservoir and a new road has been constructed, but isn't open. The alternative is a dirt track which drops into a deep valley and up again. A new viaduct has been constructed for the new road, saving a descent and ascent of at least 100m.

There are still some quiet parts and the line of castles on hills continues.

We are now in Zaragoza. Camping Ciudad de Zaragoza is quite nice for a big city campsite, though it is quite noisy.
We'll stay here two days and try to get Ben's bike fixed as well as doing some sightseeing.

Saviñan to Zaragoza - 96km, ascent 300m.
