Solineu Girona

Today was my last full day in Andorra. There wasn't a huge amount to do. It wasn't snowing, but the wind was so fierce that it seemed like a sand storm made out of snow. I had a great time watching a group of cows grazing in snow up to their stomachs. Other than that I had a walk around town and spent about an hour at a ...

... that I am.<br><br> After I met up with my host and had some lunch, I decided to go for a walk and take some pictures. Andorra is certainly a beautiful place. The valleys are small enough that you can see all the details in the hills, and this makes for great scenery. It also makes for great walking, as you don't have to go too far before you are at the top of a huge hill and have a great view all around you.<br><br> The city has a good bit of old ...

... and beyond. The higher mountains are considered communal land and each commune in the area had different areas in which they can graze their animals. I think it&#8217;s wonderful to have open-use land like this. <br><br>Ridge walking was a surreal experience as the landscape around continually changed with the valley mist filling the air and causing whole hillsides to disappear and re-appear just as quickly. But all too soon ...

ok, so we got to the mountains wed night....and it has been nothing but chill out since then. we're staying at hannah's dad's flat in this little village called Sahorre. Talk about peaceful.......We've just been reading, hanging out, cooking, etc.....a welcome break from the touristy stuff we had been doing up till now....and yes, i see comments that imply we are only eating and drinking our way through france, but ...

... the &#8216;hostel&#8217; guy- calls me up- again- on my emergency world phone. <br><br>"Where were you? You were supposed to be here at nine o&#8217;clock!"<br><br> &#8220;Where was I? Where were you? I was there- at eight o&#8217;clock! And where&#8217;s this so-called &#8216;Barcelona City House? Your neighbors said you left!&#8221;<br><br> &#8220;Where are you now? We can still meet up.&#8221;<br><br> &#8220;I&#8217;m in a ...

... called Mimi's, with a pricey but yummy-sounding menu, and inquired with the staff about sitting outside, only to be told they weren't open until 21:00. Though it was only 15 minutes away, the rude waitress was a turn-off, and I decided to eat elsewhere.<br><br>I finally decided on a pizza joint called La Cantina, and the waiter wasn't all that friendly, either - what gives here??? He was hesitant to give me a spot on the terrace, as he obviously didn ...

Els Caçadors: a very good, family-run hotel in Ribes with both 1-star and 3-star accomodation. Very good food and reasonable prices. There are also other possibilities for accomodation in Ribes, which as far as service is concerned has all you need. I recommend this as a base for your excursions to the peaks around Núria. Much cheaper than living in the hotel at Núria.

The monastery-turned-hotel Núria, north of the town of Ribes de Freser in Catalunya, Spain is an excellent destination for walking. There are several peaks around the hotel, enabling you to do comfortable and rewarding day-treks. Some peaks: Noufonts, Noucreus, Eyne, Puigmal... (can't remember all names right now). Altitude from 2000 to 3000 meters.
