At last there's some snow on the Pyrenees!
I took these photos from the top of Monte Corona in Sabiñánigo.
Life in Jaca, in the Spanish Pyrenees. Nature, including the amazing birds, sport, culture, books, history......

Barós
When I left Zaragoza yesterday morning there was fog from the city until the start of Monrepós, after which bright sunshine. In Jaca the weather is beautiful; sharp frost and clear skies.
We went for a walk in the village of Barós, following a track up towards Monte Oroel. The views back towards Jaca and the Pyrenees are spectacular.

Looking towards the Canal de Berdún where the fog lurks in the valley.
The one on the right looks as if he's playing an instrument.
Here's a wall in a house near the church in which you can see a couple of ancient carvings have been included. The wall is newly reconstructed.

In the village itself, I was surprised by the glimpse of the little church which apparently originates from the 11th century. The only part we could see was a side wall with Romanesque arcading and some rather interesting capitels:

All in all it was a lovely outing.
