As hinted at in the last blog we meandered east today. Lots of roadworks as Spain builds a freeway from San Sebastian to Bercelona via the northern (top) route just south of the mountains. It is almost complete and leaves anything in Australia far behind. We, however, took the backroads and had a good look at lots of snow and went through towns that were clearly ski towns in winter. This icluded Pamplona where they run the bulls through the streets in July. (see photo below)
Arrived at Huesca at about 5pm and after a visit to tourism office ended up in the top hotel (85 euro) and dined in the street with all the other locals. The cafes all had set up tables and chairs in the street in a 100 metre strip. Great food and atmosphere and warm.

Pamplona bull running street
The town inself is about 50,00 people and there is a lot of building going on. It is actually the smallest regional capital. Next time you are driving east from San Seb it is worthwhile considering as an overnite stop.
