Madrid to Molina de Aragón

This morning after breakfast we walked about a mile to Atocha train station where we picked up our rental car, a Seat Arena. The weather today was absolutely perfect, blue skies and a high of 75.

It was a beautiful day for a walk

The Parador of Molina de Aragon is less than a year old. This is our 97th

Parador out of 100!

This is the view of the castle from the lobby

We went for a walk down into the town. They have a fascinating museum. It highlights the region’s natural and cultural history. It’s also the interpretative center for the nearby Geopark. This area has a lot of fossils.

The museum is in the former Franciscan convent in the background
There were some really cool fossils

When we got back to the Parador we enjoyed our welcome drinks. It is great to be back in a Parador!

We had an excellent dinner
The castle is beautifully illuminated.
