In the wild

 We went for a short walk to La Garcipollera yesterday. There's a tarmac road, rather spoilt and broken, which goes as far as the village with the strange name of Villanovilla. We've done it many, many times. Yesterday was the first time we'd seen a stag. It stood below us, frozen until we went away.


On the way back the flock of sheep and their little lambs we'd seen ealier had moved away, but their guard dogs came to see us, one of them with a confused lamb.


There was a nice view of the Ciudadela in the evening.

La Garcipollera

Just up the Aragón valley from Jaca is the village of Castello de Jaca. It suffered terribly in the floods at the end of last year; the river bed is still full of branches and rubble sent downstream by the floodwater which took the side off a house. 
On the first of January we went for a walk from Castiello to the Garcipollera valley. The video shows an old bridge with water cascading down into receiving tanks where people go to swim in the summer. There's a lot of water coming down at the moment.
