We got up early and packed our car and after breakfast we headed to San Sebastián via Pamplona. The first 50 km took over an hour because it was a very windy skinny road over the mountains. On the way we saw horses, cows and goats way up over 1300 metres high. We stopped just outside of Pamplona and had an ice cream and arrived in San Sebastián around 1.30pm.

We were right up in the mountains and could see snow on the peaks ven though it is Summer. We stopped on he way back at. Small village called Broto and had a ...

Have arrived in Ainsa and settled in. Today we drove to Torla way up in The Pyrenees and then had to go bus up a very narrow road high up in the mountains. We then took a two and a half hour walk further up - stunning scenery.
