Larrés Castle, museum of drawing Julio Gavin

Saturday 13th January turned out fine so we went on a short excursion to a place we hadn't been for 20 years; the drawing collection in a 14-16th century castle in the Serrablo near Sabiñánigo. It was pretty much as cold inside thee stone building as out, and as we were moving slowly to look at the drawings, after the hour it took us to see everything we were chilled through.
We enjoyed the drawings, which ranged from Dali to Beulas to Juan Gris, Penagós and the museum's founder, Julio Gavin.
We also enjoyed the castle itself-a simple two-storied set of rooms surrounding a central patio and two towers, one with the narrowest stone staircase imaginable leading to an exhibition of cartoons, and the other a viewing platform from which you can see the snowy mountains. (although the dirty windows made it impossible to take photos). All-in-all a good trip.
Here's a link for the museum:
