Tella by the Cinca Canal
A great winter walk especially if the sun is shining and the sky is blue. We started out in Salinas de Sin and did a loop walk ascending by the GR and the PR Canal de Cinca and descending by the GR19. Parts of this walk use the old path created for the construction and maintenance of the Cinca Canal, which carries water from the Pineta reservoir to the hydroelectric station in Lafortunada. After entering the PR Canal de Cinca section, the views are spectacular and the walk impressive as the path takes you through two small tunnels cut out off the limestone rock and then winds its way round the side of the mountain offering great views of the Cinca river. We were accompanied by abundant birdlife, fantastic scenery especially the rocky outcrops and the wonderful scent of the pine trees. After two and a half hours, we reached Tella for a picnic lunch and a magnificent view of the surrounding peaks; Peña del Mediodía, Punta Calva, Cotiella, Peña Montanesa, Sierra de Guara...Posted by Jayne at 11:10 ·
