Out hiking near Ainsa checking out routes for our tenth anniversary holiday. Beautiful hike up to the early 11th century church and castle of Samitier and then down into the gorge of the Rio Cinca. Great views – looking forward to showing everybody this new route.

Near the summit of Montcabrer – a rocky peak and a great view over the Sierra Mariola. Our March and April groups will be visiting this area. #walks pain #trailrunning #trailrunningholiday #ultrarunning
