Mallos de Riglos

Yesterday I had to get to Huesca by 9.30. not usually a problem; it's an hour's drive. However, yesterday in particular I couldn't be sure of getting there on time, because of the Quebrantahuesos.
The Quebrantahuesos is a 205 km cycle race which starts and finishes in Sabíñánigo and uses the roads in the Aragón and Tena valleys. They don't close the roads, but with up to 10,000 cyclists the traffic is severely affected.
So we decided to use the alternative route through the mountain pass of Santa Bárbara. It's longer and very wiggly, but very spectacular, passing through the gorge made by the river Gállego with views of the extraordinary Mallos de Riglos.

The journey was pleasant, not too hot, and we arrived in plenty of time for a cup of coffee before my exams were due to start. Today is the last day of spring, and it has rained so much lately that everything is lush and green.
