I continue on the dirtroad which bends to the south and descends to Hospice de France. I meet a nice Indonesian-German couple with the man interested in mountain spirits.

I'm content and drive to my favourite camping in the region: camping Espalias in Bossòst: intimate, laid down, with a swimming pool and two modest and nice owners
