At long last we got our GPS app, Copilot Europe, downloaded and working on the iPhone. Having it with us made the drive from Vitoria-Gasteiz to Barcelona a piece of cake, and allowed us to veer off here and there to explore little villages and things, knowing that we could always use it find our way back to main path. The GPS was especially good on navigating the roundabouts that replace the familiar grid-locked traffic light intersections in the States.
We spent the last night of our driving tour in the inland city of Zaragoza before heading back to Barcelona. It’s clear that Zaragoza has more Castilian Spanish influence than anywhere else on this trip—no more signs in Catalan and Euskara. The larger than life El Pilar Basilica, captured in a few of these photos, was a site to behold on a rainy night.
