Pilar's familia (priests included).

Ruins of an Arab castle overlooking Zaragoza.

View
of Zaragoza surroundings. The village in the centre is Alfajarín
(very Arab name) where we buy the famous jamónes and chorizos from the
Archangel.

Guess who's on top?

My
flight back was from Barcelona, so I stopped for a quick jaunt up
Montserrat. Good climbing to be had here! Just below this
picture was a guy busily bolting a climb with a
huge hammer drill. He was placing a bolt about every 4
minutes!!! Remind me why bolts are so comforting on a climb?

View
of Montserrat from below. The red line is the uptrack, and the
yellow line is ... I'll let you guess what it is. It was Monday,
so I didn't see a soul, except at the very summit where a funicular
comes up from the backside and spews out dozens of loud British, French
and German tourists ... oh and the occasional
paraglider (boy was I jealous)! About a week after this picture
was taken, two road workers were killed just below
.......................................................................................................
here ^ somewhere by a rock slide. That's about where I parked
Pilar's sister's car!!!
