1. The new balneario. Fight to get in, it's worth it.
2. What's it all about?
3. The lovely Casa de Piedra. Is it still there?
Sleep very well. Sunny day, walk with Colin after washing all our stuff. Sandy rests and makes phone calls. Lovely place. Like a bowl in the middle of a circle of mountains with a lake fed by various rivers, all of which seem to form waterfalls at some point. Lunch at refuge and then nearly lose my cool arguing our way into the balneario…..honesty being our problem…"no we don’t have bikinis, just black knickers and aerobic class type bras and no we can’t pay €30 for a swim-suit which we will throw away after". Demanding an “hoja de reclamaciones”, which I guess they didn’t have, did the trick. Pay €30 each and enter the world of luxury. Pools, cascades, jacuzzis, big, fluffy robes etc etc. Round off our day of pampering with a drink in the equally empty 5 star hotel: €6 for a bottle of Guinness! Nobody here…how do they make money? Tomorrow off to Bujaruelo: snow, avalanches, whatever. P.S. There was a plan to move the Casa de Piedra from this site (it would never fit in with the BMW 4x4 crowd) but I have no more details.
