I left super late this morning because the hotel room was too comfortable. Today I followed the GR 11 (Spanish Pyrenees route) the entire time.

The trail out of Parzan climbed a dirt road 1200m to a Col.

The road led to a dam with a hydroelectric facility

Paso de los Caballos, 2314m

The GR 11 then descended down into a cow-filled valley. I could hear moos echoing all around.

I made it to the campground relatively early. It was a really nice spot, and I planted my tent next to two English speaking GR 11 hikers, Bart and Lubo.

Having a drink at the end of the day in El Forcallo

The GR 11 was a nice change to the remoteness of the HRP. The trail was very well-marked and the people were friendly!

Parzan to Camping El Forcallo - 20.63km and 1283m gained.
