Andorra La Vella to Aneto…a small village on the way up to the French Border, next to Aneto the highest peak in the Pyrenees…

A relatively short day as there aren’t that many options, Andy O planned a route taking into account motor biking recommended roads..

Lovely quaint hostal with an adjoining sophisticated restaurant serving local delicacies..not all to everyone’s preferences…however copious glasses of wine and beer seemingly offset any initial reservations..

Another hot day in parts..

Was interesting to see Andorra but it seemingly has been filled up with Spanish shopping aficionados…

We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…

Another day in the Pyrenees…hopping from our lovely 2 night halt in Aneto…old boy and his wife who run the hotel asked for a photo shoot in front if their simple pension / auberge…

Lovely couple and Lovett stay…SWMBO said she wished for surrogate parents like them…

Over into France then wiggly roads till we descended into Spain again…

Long day with lots of ‘yet another gob smacking views’..

Final two days…group split with most doing another French border crossing…we headed south into the Spanish canyons , a visit to a mega Chris de Burgh mega class castle they across the plains for a rendezvous in Longrono.

Next day we headed to the Picos Europa mountains via some fabulous sweeping open roads then a blast on some fabulous two lane free Autopistas sweeping through the Picos onto our final night stop..another great hotel..

Thanks to Lee for spotting that SWMBO didn’t have a ticket to get home…
