 | I meet Carlos and Conchita 12:30 at the large parking at the start of the dirtroad towards Refugio d'Estos. That dirtroad is forbidden for private cars but Carlos arranged a 4x4 taxi who brings us on the rocky and bumby (and rather dull) dirtroad until the end of it. That saves us 6km walking and 550m climbing, let's say 2 hours of walking. (click photo to enlarge) |

 | That where the trail starts to Refugio d'Estos and beyond (which is the GR11). Free camping forbidden but who cares? We don't. (click photo to enlarge) |

 | At one point we leave the trail and climb to this pastoral plateau. The climb to bm330bis is for tomorrow and we will camp here. I took us 1:15 to get here from the Refugio. (click photo to enlarge) |
 | This is the first time ever that Carlos & Conchita camp in the wild. They borrowed the tent from their son David. (click photo to enlarge) |
 | In the background my tent. All seems well in this peaceful landscape. But the cows are curious and approach our tents over and over and chasing them away helps only a while. Moreover, the noise of their bells gets on your nerves quite soon. (click photo to enlarge) |
 | Nevertheless, we go to sleep early. But the cows don't..... (click photo to enlarge) |
