Río Cinca

Picnic lunch today on the banks of the Cinca river with a great view of the Peña Montanesa, warm sunshine and the soothing flow of the river. I also got to add a new entry to my growing list of recognisable flowers: snapdragon, a pink flower with white and yellow touches. Much passed from parent to kid is the fact that you can squeeze open the jaw of the flower and watch it snap shut.

Not to be missed, the weekend of 20/21 May is the descent of the Cinca River by wooden rafts that tradionally transported logs. Nowadays, two to three rafts race down the river from Laspuña to below Ainsa. Festive start in Laspuña village with wine and canapes.
