Drive to Jaca

We drove to the town of Jaca today - finding a good parking garage to park our car in that was pretty central to everything.  We walked along pedestrian streets looking for a place to have lunch and ended up at a hotel that Guillermo and I had looked at several months ago, thinking that would be a good place to eat.  So, we had lunch there and our food was good but we had to sit inside and it's always nice to sit outside when the weather is nice but they had no outside terrace.

From Jaca we drove to the San Juan de la Peña Monastery that had been built into the cliffs.  This monastery started with a hermitage church that was in a monastery that had been originally been built back in the 10th century.  A newer monastery was built further up the hill after a fire to the older one in the 17th century.  We did not visit the new one.
It was all very interesting.  Narrow winding roads on the way to this monastery, which pretty much seems to be the norm for roads in northern Spain on their way to interesting places.

The view from the monastery.  They were very isolated here!

For dinner, we walked from our hotel in Sarvise to Meliz again.  We had a nice dinner out on the terrace. 

August 15

We stayed in Sarvise pretty much the whole day today.  Guillermo and I went into Broto to pick up some things for lunch, which we ate at a little table under an umbrella in front of the hotel.  In the evening, we had dinner at the Hotel Pradas in Broto.
