Southern foot of the Pyrenees

 
To protect ourselves from the heat wave that has been raging for a few days, we decide to discover the Ordesa valley, hoping to find some freshness there. In the summer time, access roads are closed to individual vehicles and after a night in the small campground of the San Nicolás de Bujaruelo refuge, we take the shuttle to the valley.
 
 
1. After an hour of hiking, we are in front of the “Cascada del Estrecho”.
 

 
 
2. Continuing up the river…
 

 
 
3. Emile playing at our picnic spot. I won’t bring back other images, a heavy rain shower forcing us to shorten our walk.
 

 
 
4. Boondocking near a small river…
 

 
 
5. My son happy to play with his feet in the water. 😉
 

 
 
6. The next day, the track rises in a limestone range.
 

 
 
7. Landscape and geology change rapidly.
 

 
 
8. We reach the “Mirador de Los Buitres” shortly after noon and enjoy a magnificent view on the “Mallos de Riglos”.
 

 
 
9. As we eat, many vultures fly over us.
 

 
 
10. Squadron…
 

 
 
11. Glider…
 

 
 
12. Ruin along the trail…
 

 
 
13. Late in the afternoon, we arrive in sight of the “Castillo de Loarre”.
 

 
 
Images of our visit are coming in the next article… 😉
