Been plenty busy exploring Spain, obviomente. We spent 1 night in Barcelona. Found a craft beer bar with tons of awesome beers!
Saw some of the sights of Barcelona the next day. Gaudi's Cathedral was incredible.
Then we headed to Montserrat for climbing, camping, hiking and via ferratas. Montserrat is a beautiful park a couple hours outside of Barcelona. There's a large monestary on top with smaller ones speckled all over the mountains.
We found a really nice spot to park and camp during our stay in Montserrat. Watching the sunset every night was a nice treat.
One day we did a via ferrata in the park. It was the first via ferrata for both Greg and I. It was super fun! Right in between hiking and climbing, we gained a lot of elevation while clipping into fixed lines and climbing iron ladders.
We also did a multipitch climb which got us to the top of this spire. Being the dumb tourists that we are, we thought we'd be okay with t-shirts and shorts. Then we found ourselves in the shade dealing with super strong gusts of wind, wishing we had more clothing on. Regardless, we had an awesome time and the view from the top was spectacular.
After leaving Montserrat, this was our bathing spot during one of our rest days.
Near a small town by the name of Camarasa we found some fun climbing that couldn't be any closer to the road.
We then spent a few days in Parque Sierra de Guara. Having no expectations, my mind was completely blown. It is absolutely a climbing Mecca, with an endless number of limestone caves situated in a beautiful canyon.
Today we're dropping Greg off in Huesca where he'll be heading back to Barcelona and eventually back home. In the next week Camille and I will head north and eventually cross into France via the Pyrenees.
