Small lake
Visits
- 2025-01-25: In the morning, we stopped at a lake near the highway en route to Zaragoza. We walked around the lake where we saw plenty of small birds, but again, none of the targets from my list. After a couple of hours of this, we gave up and returned the rental car. We still had a few hours to kill, so we took the bus into town to check out the Goya Museum. We walked for thirty minutes or so in the rain only to find out that the museum was closed for renovations. So, failure on all counts regarding our trip to Aragon.
