Bits and pieces

At the end of August we had to drive to Barcelona airport. Our coffee break was in Barbastro, where I saw this building with great window boxes.

Good, isn't it? We visited the cathedral there and were surprised by its very impressive Gothic interior.

This isn't my photo.

Then yesterday we went on a little trip to Oloron Sainte-Marie. It took about  minutes to get there; it's not the distance so much as the French roads. It's 30 minutes on decent Spanish roads to the tunnel, 8kms of tunnel and the rest in wiggly narrow roads down the steep, narrow Aspe valley to Oloron.

A short walk took us to the Sainte Marie quarter; to the old cathedral with its Romanesque portal and Gothic interior.

And a few more jupiter trees in Oloron.
