I have been reading a little about Expo 2008 in Zaragoza this year, and today's (15 June) New York Times has an article about it. Is anyone planning to go? I've never been to Zaragoza but it looks like a beautiful city. And, I see that MM board member Valenciano_en_Madrid recommended it in an earlier thread .

I'd really like to go too but lodging anywhere near there is very difficult. Saludos, MadridMan

I am considering the posibility of two or three consecutive day trips from Madrid on the AVE. May be this option is cheaper than a hotel room in Zaragoza. The trip takes only 1hour 18 min. Here is an example of an electronic ticket:
Ida : Sábado 21-06-2008 Origen : Madrid-Puerta De Atocha Destino : Zaragoza-Delicias Tren Salida Llegada Clase Precio (€) Tarifa AVE 03063 06:30 07:48 Turista 50,90 Adulto Importe Ida : 50,90 EUR
Vuelta : Sábado 21-06-2008 Origen : Zaragoza-Delicias Destino : Madrid-Puerta De Atocha Tren Salida Llegada Clase Precio (€) Tarifa AVE 03212 22:32 23:57 Turista 30,50 Adulto Importe Vuelta : 30,50 EUR
Importe Total de la Compra : 81,40 EUR

Wow!!! It seemed like yesterday when I visited world expo back in '92, I even remember the stickers on the late 80's advertising it,,, now Zaragoza 2008!!! Incredible!!!
I only hope that they keep the fair grounds and preserve the beauty of it all unlike what they did to Sevilla and it's expo grounds,,, sad, sad thing to see,,, the monorail gone, along with many pavillions, unkept vegetation covered grounds, vandalism. They should have filmed the movie "I am legend" at the Sevilla world expo grounds and save money,,, that sad.
Anyway, good luck Zaragoza! I wish I could go and visit it.

It's hard to believe but next weekend my husband is flying to Spain and back from Sweden where he'll be working, and myself from Basel to attend my grandfather's birthday in Zaragoza, but it's such a quickie visit that we won't be able to check out the Expo at all!!! :-( All my family comes from Zaragoza and I practically grew up in the "maña" capital, living there from the time I was 4 until I was 15....I'm quite disappointed....
