Goodbye, 2020!

New Year's Eve celebrations around the world will look a lot different this year, but as we ring in 2021 (and bid good riddance to 2020?) we can still enjoy this view of fireworks from a previous year in the Spanish city of Zaragoza, also known as Saragossa. The cathedral in the background is the Basílica de Nuestra Señora del Pilar, which was constructed in stages over the 17th and 18th centuries, beginning in 1681 (although other churches had been built on the site before that). On the left, is the Puente de Piedra Bridge, which spans the Ebro River. It's also known as the Bridge of Lions because statues of lions (symbols of the city) stand at each end of the bridge. Zaragoza is famous for its landmarks and architecture, as well as for its cuisine and seasonal festivals - which we can only hope return soon.
