Running out of superlatives - Loarre

Spectacular. Just the most amazing morning - starting with a new footbridge over the Rio Gallego, up to the tiny town of Riglos nestled underneath 300 metre high red cliffs (loved by climbers), through a forested gorge with vultures, golden eagles and swifts soaring around, over a pass with castle ruins and a lovely old ermita.

Afternoon a come down - 9km on rough gravel, starving hungry. Then all good again - arriving in Loarre and finding an open bar where we got the best ever bocadillos. Quirky accommodation where we met an interesting couple travelling around on a beautiful Harley motorbike. Had a fabulous dinner together.

Tomorrow a day off the trail while we try to get to Huesca to do some errands. Wish us luck!

  1. Mum, nice pic of you. Your hair is looking nice and long! The cliffs look fantastic for climbing. I bet you were eager to give them a go. Sam

  2. Thanks Sam! Those cliffs are seriously scary. Climbers must be mad.
