Canfranc was a smallish village near the Aragonese border in the central Pyrenees. Towards the end of the 19th century it was decided that a railway line should be built across the mountain pass, the last stage being an eight-kilometre tunnel opening out into the steep, narrow valley of Arañones. On the 18th July 1928, King Alfonso XIII inaugurated the massive station building, designed to impress travellers with its grandeur and modernity. The railway line in France was closed when a bridge fell down in 1970, but in Spain trains have continued to run, slowly and not very frequently, but they run. The station, on the other hand, was allowed to go to rack and ruin until recently, when the Aragonese government bought it. A fair amount of work has been done and more will be needed, but what we saw was truly impressive. A guide took us in and explained the history of the building and the adventures of the railway in both Civil and World War. Depth interesting and worthwhile.

Monastery of San Juan de la Peña (really two monasteries, the old and new ones) is located in the surroundings of Jaca, on mountains. In fact, it is also a picnic place, where can come all family to stay a day with a childen park and picnic tables close to the parking. Also, near the parking there is the new monastery, where you can see remains and a exposition about the history of old and new ones. Really interesting. After, we catch a bus to go to the old monastery (some kilometers far) and we could visit it in a guided visit. It is a building inside the rocks, so it is wonderful and curious. The guided visit was very interesting and the last cloister is fantastic. A very recommendable visit.

As the size of the car park suggests, Ainsa is most definitely on the tourist trail, yet when we visited it was blissfully quiet. Having parked the car, we walked through the large empty square in the fort and my immediate thoughts were that Ainsa is over-hyped. Fortunately, the Plaza Major is the next one along and it is beautiful. The cobbled square is surrounded by lovely old buildings with archways at ground level that give access to cool walkways and the various shops and restaurants within. After having a stroll around the lovely village, we sat at an outdoor table in the square enjoying coffee and simply enjoying the peace and quiet of this enchanting place. And having said that, I realise how lucky we were and that when the tourist coaches arrive it won’t be quite as peaceful.
