Big moutains, Little country
From Big moutains, Little country in Santa Coloma, Andorra on Aug 05 '02
Hello All!!
So, we were in Spain exactly one week and we left...not because we didn't like it. Let's start back in Zarragoza, from there we headed to the Pyranee Mountains. We stayed three nights in the midevial town of Aisna. Which was absolutly amazing! On our first day there we went on a hike to the deserted town of San Vicente. Well, we are damm sure that the Spainards made the town up so the stupid tourists would hike for three hours(mostly up-hill), and never find the damm thing. But the area was beutiful none the less. And then the next day we went canyoning(sorry moms)!! It was truely one of the best times that we had on this trip!! We hiked in with a group and guide for about and hour(again, mostly up-hill) and then proceded to jump, slide, repel, swim and walk our way down the cayon. It was like a water park where ya have to hear wetsuits and helmets. And the next day, we left to try to make our way to an entire courty that is in the eastern Pyranees, Andorra. Well, we made our way as far as the city of Llieda where we had to spend one night untill we caught a bus to andorra. We got there and imediately found one of our best rooms yet with a great view of the main square for cheaper then any room(it even had its own bathroom)in Spain. It didn't take long to find out why. The castle that the tourist books spoke of was only impressive because by walking to it you got out of the getto that the main entrance was located near. We even had policia ask us to take the side entrance out as we were going to it in the getto. They said that it would be better to go that way in the later evening...And then, this tour of the castle took us all of 20 minuets because it was bunk!! So we walked down the side way and it took us another hour to find a resturant that would serve us dinner before 9pm...Spanrards have an interesting diet and eating times. So we bailed early the next morning and came here to Andorra.. A beutifiul mountain country in the Pyranees. The main city is plagued by duty free shops and the shoppers that fallow the sale signs. However, the setting is great and tomorrow we take off for some smaller towns to do some hiking. It should be a blast!!
Talk to everyone later!!
Love, Sarah & Jer
