We walked over the bridge to start our walk.
We then drove up the valley, visiting two little villages on the way. In my defence I have to say that on the tourist map it was shown as a red road - as was the main road to the border. See if you can find a road between Hoz de Jaca and Pueyo de Jaca. There is one but it is very tiny. Not ideal for a motorhome. Sorry, I didn't fancy stopping to take photos.
We did get to the border and this was the view.
In September we were seeing the same border crossing from the other side. We did find some squashed and frozen orchids but also gentians.
Then we drove back to the same parking spot and walked a footpath in the other direction, up a steep path through woodland. We got as far as this waterfall then turned back.
And this is the Hermita de Santa Helena which is very appropriate on Helen's birthday.
P.s. we have just met our first Welsh people - they saw our number plate so came and said Shwd mae. But they are non-Welsh speakers from Bridgend so couldn't help Kate with her homework.
Pps. Just walking up to the reception to blog and we had a close encounter with a hoopoe - and my camera is in the van!
