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.

The Valle Pineta offers stunning scenery with jagged mountains on three sides. Great for hiking and for accessing the Monte Perdido and Oropesa national park. In winter it also offers cross country skiing. Easy access into France and the skiing there.

We came to Nerin to see and hike this canyon after one week hiking in and around the Ordesa near Torla. This Canyon has quite different charateristics than the Faja trails in Ordesa. It is like a slot canyon cut through by a river. We started from the second parking after having entered the canyon from the side of Nerin. The hike is slightly less strenuous than in Ordesa, has shade most of the time (quite sunny and hot in July) and yet beautiful. We hiked until La Ripareta where we took a rest and soaked our feet in the chilling river. Then we continued until Pasarela Los Estrechos where there is another waterfall, a bridge and rocks to sit on. This second part was slightly more difficult than the first part, yet manageable if one is normally fit. It is not a circular treck. We decided to back track after rest point at Pasarela Los Estrechos. This canyon is less known and less touristic. However, we rate the hike higher than those in the Ordesa. The logistic of this canyon is also less convenient. If you enter from the side of Nerin by car, you have to park your car in the first parking and walk down the road for minimum 30 minutes to hike into the canyon at the second parking. The second parking can only be reached by car from the side of Vio. This main part of the canyon can be driven though but in one direction, from south to north. We found this arrangement very inconvenient. The way how it is "designed" confirms that it is not catered for mass tourism, unlike in the Ordesa. However, it is free of charge :-))

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.
