| Looking back towards the Pyrenees as we crossed the Guara mountains |
Although we were enjoying the campsite we were in, the weather outlook for this week was a bit grey, drizzly and cold so we have headed inland and a bit south to a campsite next to the Guara National park, known for it's mountains and canyons.
It was quite a trek to get here, the first part along the Autoroutes which alternates between stretches of wonderful new dual carriageway roads for about 30km and then the original narrow, broken roads, then back on a motorway for a while, rinse - repeat. It will be a wonderful route to travel when completed one day but stretches of the old route are very patchy.

After passing Huesca, we turned off onto an even rougher road for the final 21km and after 20km of very slow towing we were flagged over by a French couple who told us the road ahead had washed away - can you believe it! Luckily it transpired this is on the other side of the campsite so we managed to get in without any problems and have set up ourselves for a good while.
It's warmer here, definitely sunnier and there is a lovely pool which we hope to make use of. There are many cycling and hiking trails in the area so we will be spoilt for choice and, weather depending, are planning on making the most of our last 2 weeks of summer.
