Petersberg Park

This morning, we went to a book fair in Sabiñánigo: people brought their unwanted books to sell on behalf of the public library.
After we had looked at the books we walked up the steep streets to Petersberg Park. At the top of Sabiñánigo, on Monte Corona, a delightful space with some reconstituted arches.

Then we went for dinner with some friends, whose huntsman friend had given them a haunch of wild boar. It was cooked for hours and hours, and made a delicious stew.

Alquezar again

Alquezar is about an hour and three-quarters' drive from Jaca. We went there last year and it rained. This year, in spite of it being a very cold, rainy spring, it was a beautiful day. Once the whole family group was ther, we went on a brilliant walk along the rugged path down into the gorge of the river Vero.




Down to the water, and then back up the other way.
Ramonda myconi oreja de oso or bear's ears in Spanish  (Pyrenean violet or rosette mullein)


Narrow walkways
Lovely flowers, beautiful views, clear, cold water. A nice day.
