At the end of the second full day staying in Vielha I arranged the bike route so that I would have time to wander down into town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am staying at the Parador which is up a hill out of the main town, the road does not have a pavement so the route to town for a pedestrian is to walk to a nearby village and then down a footpath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It carries on steep and rocky all the way to town.\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I did not pack walking trainers…sandals it is then! It was not too bad to be honest, bit of concentration and no problems. Walking back up was no fun whatsoever though, I was flipping exhausted by the time I got back to the top. On balance it was worth it and better than riding down into town or getting a taxi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pretty cool I thought…for sale as well, no parking though so I have not put in an offer\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After wandering around for a little while I discovered my timing was rubbish, most places closed until the evening, I even had a bag to carry all the souvenirs I was going to buy, eventually I gave up and went in search of refreshment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
This was meant to be about the gin and the shame that they were closed, but I have just noticed it illustrates my totally inappropriate walking footwear\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

That’ll do instead\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So this is where I spend the next couple of hours, including chatting with Julio who gave up a health and safety job (I think) to travel here in his van and now works here and has a passion for brewing beer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not a bad spot to relax while pondering the walk up ‘that’ hill albeit sans shopping of any description.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
