[QUOTE="Undermanager, post: 1251811, member: 46206"] Day 10 - Pertusa to Huesca You might need some lip sunblock and maybe some lip balm on these stages, if you're like me. The sun can be powerful but the strong headwind can soon leave you with dry, chapped lips and blisters. If you stay in the wonderful Pertusa Albergue, you must go sink a few beers in Pepe's bar. It's a unique experience! Find the secret entrance opposite the church, with a beer logo over the front door. It feels a bit like my days as a student back in Bradford, when you hunted down 'illegal' pubs in people's living rooms for after hours sessions til dawn the next day. Nothing illegal about this place, just different! I have nothing but great things to say about the village of Pertusa. The albergue is fabulous, the welcome warm, Pepe's is unique and all was good. Just remember that there are no shops and nowhere to buy food, so you need to bring supplies with you. And you will also need supplies for the next day, too, as there is nothing that I saw anywhere between Pertusa and Huesco. I left after scrambled eggs and coffee 😀 after 7.00am. There was blue sky but it was bitterly cold when I set off, with a strong headwind all day adding a wind chill factor. 7kms and some tarmac and dirt track later, you pass through the tiny village of Antillon, where there are no facilities but a fabulous view from the top, with mountains in the distance. Next, you get onto a dirt track for the 11kms towards Pueyo de Fananas. This section is fantastic, as you walk along a ridge, with mountains to one side and rolling fields to the other. Flowers are in full bloom at the moment all along the track. There were no shops or bars in Pueyo de Fananas either, or in the next village, Ola. It was time to break out the emergency stash of chocolate bread rolls so survived. The walk from Ola to Huesca is also very pretty. When you get about 6kms from Huesca, it'll be time to drop down off the high plain you've been walking on. Care will be needed on these steep narrow dirt paths, especially if it's wet, and walking poles will help. It'll take about 30 minutes of scrambling to get down. Then it's an easy 5kms walk to the Albergue. If you are in dire need of food and drink, Kitchen Nowa is almost the first building you come to. There's also a big supermarket a few hundred meters away from the Albergue front door. It's a lovely albergue, with all mod cons so it should make for a nice stay. I've just got to work out what I need to buy for the next few stages, what there is to see, whether to press on after Bolea, which seems a short section. A quick tot up and about 240kms have been covered so far. Is there an official 'end' point on the Catalan? [/QUOTE]
