June 8 Val de Nuria

Vall de Nuria

  We spent one more day in the Vall de Nuria. The weather was beautiful and sunny. Mountain air, 6000 feet, is fresh and clean. We had a lovely day walking the lower trails. This valley is used by schools and the trains come in with kids of all ages. There is a juvenile hostel as well as outdoor camping with multiple large tents. The Pyrenees mountains are gorgeous with paths all over to walk. Barcelona is a fabulous city but it is nice to get out into the country.
