Mountain Trip

I never really thought of Spain as a mountainous country, I know that it has a border with France and the Pyrenees help define the border.
So it came as a surprise when the Lady of the Villa organised a day trip to our local mountains. We went by Coach, thank God, as the Sat Nav would have got us lost I am sure. The roads were very like those in the Lake District only better maintained and much steeper. We were told that the Tour de France teams train here. I can well believe it.
It was a vey picturesque trip, stopping off and various towns and villages for ‘photo opportunities’ as you can see below.

This was an old look out tower built during the Moor’s occupation of Spain.
