Parador de Bielsa to Argomaniz

If we had taken the fastest Google recommended route today the drive would have been about 4 hours. But we wanted to take the back roads so our drive took us a bit over six hours. It was a beautiful drive, well worth the extra time.

First we took a very narrow and winding road through Canyon de Añisclo in Parque Nacional de Ordesa y Monte Perdido. It was stunningly beautiful.

Much of the way it was one way so we didn’t have to worry about on coming traffic
A few times we came down to near the river but most of the time we were high above the narrow canyon and couldn’t see the river at the bottom.
After that we drove on the back roads through mountain valleys and, towards the end, rolling farm land.

For dinner we had hamburgers in the Parador bar.
