Pyrenees

Our guide, Anna, was a wonderful companion, driver and organizer. The city of Vic is interesting and nice, unfortunately we visited it under pouring, cold rain. The Valley of Nuria has spectacular views, however, it was snowing and raining alternatively (at the end of April) and freezing cold, so we could not spend much time outside. That was very unfortunate, because inside there was nothing to do, not even have lunch (only thing open where you could eat was a very unappealing and bad-smelling cafeteria). The train journey up and down the mountain was beautiful. The visit to the village at the bottom of the Nuria trail was lovely, a romantic and beautiful old, stone village. So, all in all, in good weather it is probably a pleasant experience, however for us it was rather uncomfortable and a bit boring, despite our guide’s lovely personality.

Rod was great! he was very patient and helpful by answering all the questions. also, one of the guests missed a train. He took another train, went back to get them and didn't make a big fuss about it. super friendly, super approachable Catalan gentle man. tips for those who want to visit the mountain, make sure to have an extra jacket or sweater because it can get bit chilly up north. also carry an umbrella just incase.
