Water Festival, Spain travel tips and stories. Vacations ideas, cruises, spa and resorts

Today the ancient city of Zaragoza is a home to Expo 2008 under the theme ‘’Water and Sustainable Development’’ through September 14. The city is aware of the importance of the water to all human beings. There’re many museums that focus on water.

The Expo is spread over 60 acres of eye-catching architecture. The signature edifice at the Expo is the Water Tower, which is nearly 250 feats tall.

One of the spectacular sculpture is ‘’Squash’’ situated in the water tower. It can be seen at nearly two miles of ramps that wrap around the tower’s interior.

The pillars on the exterior of the Spanish Pavilion were covered in baked mud to help conserve energy.

The Aragonese architecture firm of Olano & Mend created an exterior of interwoven glass and metal plaits for the Aragon Pavilion.

Even without the Water Expo, Zaragoza is a amazing to explore. A statue of Caesar Augustus, the emperor who brought the region under Roman control, stands in the Central Market square.
