For day 2 of our 10th Anniversary Week in Ainsa, one group went hiking in the north of the region, to what I think is one of the most beautiful spots in the Pyrenees, Ibon de Plan.
That evening, we enjoyed a buffet dinner in a local delicatessen where the wine was flowing freely. Returning guests Joe, Madaline, Paul, Bob and Cathy must have taken advantage of this wine, as the broke out into song part the way through the evening with their own rendition of ‘There’s no business like show business’, which they had been planning for quite some time to wish the Hike Pyrenees team all the best for the next ten years. Cheers guys, it was brilliant! 😀
www.spanish-walking.com great new website about walking in the Costa Blanca mountains. Lots of amazing pictures and information on walking holidays.. #walkingholidays
A great start! It’s the first of many banquets as part of our 10th Anniversary Week in Ainsa. I’m not sure whether we should rebrand ourselves Eat Pyrenees, we’ll have to work some of it off tomorrow (by walking to France and back!). It’s also great to see so many friends from previous years.
We all know the flowers in the Pyrenees are spectacular!… This week we have had a specific ‘Lakes and Valleys flower week’ with 4 flower enthusiasts. Information was shared back and forth all week and much time was spent on our knees studying the beautiful flowers. Special ‘finds’ this week include the Woodcock Orchid, Birds Nest Orchid and Lady’s slipper Orchid. Listed below each photo is the common and latin name of many of the flowers studied this week…
