Day 16 – Calatayud, Spain to Barbastro, Spain – 102 mi.

Barbastro is a small town in Aragon, an autonomous region of Spain. “Aragon has a low population density, and therefore there are large, almost deserted spaces. More than half the population live in Zaragoza ,” through which we pass today on our walk.

“The Pyrenees of Aragon include the greatest peaks and most secluded valleys, some of which are very difficult to access and have retained unspoiled beauty. Further North, the valleys and plains are full of churches, towns, and exciting landscapes with great views.”
