In the morning I drive from camping Espalias in Bossóst to beyond Benasque.

At the end of a wide tarmac road, I park my car.

I wonder why this road is so wide and stops so suddenly. As if they planned at one time a tunnel to Bagnères-de-Luchon.

At the Port, bm331 is on a rock considerably above the pass.

It took me 1,5h to get here.
