San Salvadore, in Torla against a backdrop of the Pyrenees

We stayed for 3 nights in an apartment on the edge of the Ordesa gorge park, with a fantastic mountain view from the terrace. The village is lovely and the view of the old church agains the mountains is amazing.

Early morning. Old mill in the valley mist

These mountains are STEEP!

Down in the valley there is some arable land, and old mills and farm buildings that made for nice photography … all before breakfast on day 1.

Then we went for walks up the valley where we found spectacular waterfalls, wonderful beech forests, and, once above the treeline, superb alpine-type scenery with the steep gorge

walls prominent.

We had a ball there. And the next day we went up again and took more photos. This is definitely a place to return to.
