Back to France

We were up at 8am but in no particular hurry as today was our last day in Spain. That would mean no-more heat, although we haven’t had that much, no more pistachio filled eclairs or croissants, and no more practising speaking Spanish. We will miss Spain.
We left Alquezar at 10am and it would be a 4 hour journey into the Pyrenees, criss-crossing Aragón and Catalonia all the way to the Vielha tunnel with beautiful Mountain View’s all the way. It was a spectacular drive and a road through the mountains we hadn’t taken before.
Passing through the Vielha tunnel we were still in Catalonia for the next 20 miles but these were the most French, Spanish towns we had ever been through. Everything looked French but the signs were in Spanish and sometimes Catalan. It was bizarre.
We finally reached our parking spot in the town of Montrejeau at 2:30pm and the first thing we did was make lunch and have a cup if tea.
Our parking spot for the night is just a random car park but it’s in a beautiful area right next to the lac de Montrejeau and a golf course.
Around 3:30pm we headed out to stretch our legs and did a lap of the lake and park and then it was back to Wanda for the rest of the day.Read more
