A cool early start on Saturday morning, overcast and threatening to rain and 30km of up. The path follows the river up the valley, initially small towns at a regular basis, lots of places to get a coffee or snack. But once past Urdos there is nothing ... no towns. no views ..... fog at times, just keep walking ever up, some is on the road, other is bush tracks ..... but still on and up. Then I am at the summit, the cloud opens for a while .... then I am in Spain and at the Refugio Santa Crista, its clean, and very comfortable. This town we are in Candanchu ... in winter a ski resort.
Sunday, cool start to the day, some 32km to walk today ..... at least the majority is down hill. Its a clear day and warms as rhe morning passes, Memorable things .... the magnificent railway station at Canfranc .... memories of a by gone era. The path is rocky and uneven, I am walking with some other pilgrims that I met yesterday .... when we get to Jaca, I go east they go west. We grab lunch at a bar and walk on. Its low 20's when we arrive at Jaca and settle in to the accom .... the usual, clean up etc then rest till diner time.
