Hiking to Spain…

After our hike to Gavarnie we were excited for our next adventure which was to hike into Spain.

We loaded up in the 9 passenger van and headed toward the parking lot near Spain. Ike was an incredible driver. The 1.5 lane road up the mountainside contained 11 switchbacks, some were truly hairpins. The rest of us found the views to be superb and majestic. 

At the top we were met with a road closure sign. Checking to see that it was indeed too far for us to walk on the slick road to Spain we made the best of the situation. We decided to explore the area on foot. The views were breathtaking and quiet.

What goes up must come down! Again Ike did an amazing job on the road, even with mini cars zooming past us on the 1.5 laned road. The day ended with hot tub relaxation, a trip into town for dinner groceries and a big feast of meat…haha.
