We took bus from Torla to the park. They go every 20-30 min and cost around 4 Euro. Once you reach the park, you can have hot drink and a snack in the only restaurant. It was quite cool in the morning (in the beginning of Sept, 8 am, 13 degrees), but by the end of the trip it became hot under the sun. We climbed up to the main viewpoint (Mirador de Calcilarruego - the view was amazing), then went along the canyon to the waterfall (Cola de Caballo), after that went through the valley back to the bus. The waterfall and river were quite dry but still beautiful. Whole trip took us 9 hrs. The easier option (and the only option if it is raining) is to avoid climbing and just walk through the valley to waterfall and back.

So, little did we know when booking in Torla the weekend of May 1, that's a long holiday weekend in Spain. Torla and the popular Ordesa National Park were swarming with visitors. Normally, during off-season, you can just drive into the park and leave your car. In high season, you have to take a bus from the visitors center and its gigantic parking lot. Of course, May 1 was considered high-season from Friday to Monday! We went to the visitors center and the line for the bus at 11 am was at least a block long. So at our hotel, they suggested visiting the Valle e Bujaruelo across from the national park. This turned out to be a great idea. Tho it didn't seem that way at first. The only road we could see (it's right across from the national park entrance) was really narrow and bumpy -- so much so we weren't sure if it really was a road we were supposed to be using. Then another car came past us from the opposite way, and they looked like tourists, so we figured, OK. Both cars could barely fit on the road. We kept going. The mountain scenery was gorgeous, if right on top of us. The electric lines for the area seem to pass through here, so we again began to wonder if the road was just for workers. But then we came to a bridge with a beautiful view, and we took out our picnic food and ate. A few more cars passed us coming down the mountain valley, so we decided to proceed. Spring flowers everywhere. More bumps. A sign for a Refugio. Hmmmm. So we kept going until we indeed did end up at the Refugio and a pretty big car park and a lot of people going on walks, picnicking around the river, playing with their kids, and having coffee outside on the cafe terrace. Whaddyaknow? A lot of walks leave from here; we tried to take the short "ornithological" one which is just up one side of the river and back down, but it was actually too muddy to get too far because we didn't have hiking boots. Anyway, there was an old Roman bridge that was amazingly picturesque in the midst of this wide open valley. We didn't have to wait in line for anything, and we loved it.
