A trip to the Pyrenees from Canfranc to Canal Roya and to Ibones de anayet in 2500 m | Spain
Days before traveling into the Pyrenees, my friend from India tried to join on this trip too. Sadly, I had to realize that there was no bus and train connecting to reach Madrid on time before leaving Spain. So he stayed back home in Zaragoza, and he became aware of what he is missing out after I called him during our first break, informing him that he needs to change the time to wintertime.
I reached the end of the old station in Canfranc, becoming conscious of how cold it was, but I was professionally prepared. Once I got out of the station, I went into the info building to inform myself about the tracks in this region. After filling the water backups for cooking and drinking water, I decided to take the hike to Canal Roya y Anayet and after up to the glacier lakes ibones de anayet up to 2500 meters.
After the first 3 km and finishing my first break and breakfast, I started to gain height meters. Not many people were around, I only took small breaks to drink and finished the day hacking at 16:00 o’clock. After the sun disappeared it turned freezing, in the night I had -3 to -4 degrees, so I build my tent and started cooking. It’s a challenge to climb mountains, but much more to eat the spicy food I cooked.
In the evening, I just walked around a little and went to sleep before it was dark. Above me, the night was one of the darkest nights I have ever seen, no moon but with amazing shimmering stars. In the morning I made my way to the lakes, had breakfast, and went back to the camp, packed everything, and went down to the village. On my way back, I could see a lot of wild animals, and the colors of the trees from the day before turned into magical autumn colors. It was a magnificent time!
