Post-bike tour - catching the
high-speed Ave train to Zaragoza
And from Zaragoza, by bus to
Huesca
Outside in Huesca in the village of
Loporzano, at the Boletas Birdwatching
Centre
View from our room at Boletas
In the Boletas sitting room - nice
stone and tile

Another view from our room of the
Sierra de Guara...

in the late afternoon
Eurasian Collared Dove in the
garden (had to get in at least
one bird photo!)
Grapes!
The main plaza in Loporzano
The church on the plaza...
San Pedro, what else?
Our first glimpse of the
central Pyrenees

More beautiful views...
Almost like Yosemite
Just gorgeous!
Torla, tucked in the central Pyrenees

The village of Embún in the Hecho
Valley
That sign is an understatement!

Bueno in search of the wallcreeper
Rocky trail
Stone chimneys - typical in this
area - flanked by solar panels...
old and new together
These pretty little flowers were
everywhere in the mountain meadows
The border with France is that-a-way
...and this is where we came from
Lunch time, I think I'll sit here
Top of the Valle de Hecho
A nice place to rest
Liza's world... a nod to Andrew Wyeth
Robert awaiting another two
Lammergeiers
Back at the Boca del Infierno -
sunnier and less windy later in the
day
Back at the Boca del infierno
Still no wallcreepers!
Los Mallos de Riglos are not unlike
Sedona in outward appearance

de Riglos
Crazy rock-climbers

the Salto de Roldán
Caught him!

the countryside
