The capital of northeastern Spain’s Aragon region, Zaragoza overlooks the Ebro River and is famous for its Islamic and Gothic architecture.
However, my attention was more taken by the vivid colours, the signs and the street art. Here’s some of what I saw:

Puente de Piedra river bridge.
Fuente de la Hispanidad is a large, map-shaped fountain, constructed on the city’s central Plaza del Pilar in 1991.
The ‘Fountain of Hispanicity’ is designed to celebrate the cultural links between Spain and Latin America not just in name, but by its shape.
