Last week I was in Zaragoza visiting my family. From Barcelona it is a really nice drive specially because you go through the Monegros Desert. Next week it is a big week for them. From October 10th to October 18th, they are going to celebrate the Pilar Festivities. These are the main annual fiestas in the capital of Aragon characterised by a broad range of activities: theatre performances, concerts, dance, bullfights, craft exhibitions, different activities for children (clowns, magic ...) ... There are also fireworks and the traditional giants and big-heads parade.
The most important day is October 12th, the feast of La Virgen del Pilar, patron saint of the city. A mass floral offering takes place from early that morning: thousands of people from all over the world, dressed in traditional costumes, come to Plaza del Pilar to leave flowers before the Virgin. And on October 13th, the Rosario de Cristal takes place. It is a procession of carriages and glass lanterns that runs through the streets of Zaragoza.
If you are going to be in Spain during those dates, don't hesitate to visit Zaragoza during its fiestas!
