Riu Ter

Running through Girona is the Riu Ter.  We happened to be there on a rather stormy day to catch these images.

Ronda - Puente Nuevo

We ended up in Ronda near sunset to look out from the Puente Nuevo (new bridge), which was completed in 1793.  Being afraid of heights, it was a little bit unnerving to stand on the edge and take pictures, but the bridge held up and we're ok.  The view was stunning.  

Ronda also boasts the oldest bullring in Spain and hosted Ernest Hemingway and Orson Welles during summers.

Jánovas

On our way home from Asín de Broto, we stopped in Jánovas which is also in Huesca.  It is a ghost town of sorts that was largely abandoned in the 50's.  The government was trying to build a damn in the area and forced the inhabitants out, then never ended up building the damn.  This article is very interesting regarding the history of Jánovas.  The people are still fighting to regain their property and rebuild the town.
