DAY 12. June 9th. GUARRINZA TO SOMPORT




10 hour day. Up to valley of Aguas Tuertas. Lovely green, marshy valley. See sick, still isard and our first marmots. Climb again and encounter another diseased isard, this one mad and blind and torturing itself going round in circles. Sandy cries, HORRIBLE TO SEE. Climb to 1930m. Some snow, lots of rocks, hard work and hungry. Never-ending descent to lake where we had decided to eat. Make pasta and rain starts. Gradual descent through woods but miss turning to Candanchu and end up on the main road. Fortunate mistake as this leads us via the Camino to Somport where we have booked albergue “Ainsa”. €130 with room for 3, dinner, breakfast and beers. Hot water, bad mattress, bad food. Attractive setting, storms predicted for next day.
