23rd June
A windy night with light drizzle coming over the mountains but the wind dried it almost instantly.

| Looking back to the campsite in the morning |
It was quite cold as I set off up the hill wearing a fleece and jacket. I met a teacher of English who told me that the weather was very un-Spanish and it should be summer, this temperature suits me much better.
 |
| That's where I came down yesterday |
The route climbs up and meets a gravel track that leads to a beautiful 'hidden' valley before climbing to the coll at Las Coronetas.

From there a steepish descent takes you to a small car park at the end of a long gravel road down to Chisagues.

| Down to the track end and car park |
Chisagues is now just some new holiday homes but you can still see some of the old houses.

A series of zigzags on the now tarmac road and I arrived in Parzan.
 |
| Coming down to Parzan |
Parzan is a tiny place with large supermarkets on a border crossing road, the drink being cheaper in Spain than France.

A good restaurant and an interesting conversation with Tim, a young Spanish/French hiker who was walking ths HRP from the east. Followed by a comfy bed, what more could you ask for?
