[QUOTE="alansykes, post: 350201, member: 9811"] Venus was getting up close with Jupiter when I left Borja, so it was still only 9am when I arrived at the Santuario de Misericordia, meaning I didn't get coffee or a sight of their famously botched Ecce Homo, repainted disasterously by an over-enthusiastic local amateur. I had been meaning to stay at the albergue there, but nobody answered my (many) calls yesterday, so I decided not to risk going the extra 5km and finding it closed. Above the Santuario is the charming renaissance cylindrical chapel of Calvario. The Camino crosses an empty high plateau of maquis-like country for the next several km, at some point in which I missed the arrows, and headed across farm tracks towards Tarazona, visible from far off, so no danger of getting lost - in fact I think my route was a little shorter and used a lot less tarmac than the official one. Tarazona is a lovely spot: clean mountain air, a channelled river bisecting the town centre, great architecture - including lots of mudéjar, a narrow judería, an octagonal 18th century plaza de toros made up of arcaded houses, and an amazing cathedral in a glorious jumble of styles from Gothic, renaissance and mudéjar with a bit of baroque thrown in case you were getting bored. With a good lunch and a pleasant tapas crawl in the evening, it was really not a bad spot for my 8th and last night in Aragón. [ATTACH]21996[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
