Sand and Snow

Spain, the Miniseries part 9

During one of our days on the trip, we spent the morning exploring sunny beaches. We were dressed in tank tops, skirts, and sandals. After exploring the coast we headed inland to drive through a long, steep and winding gorge in the Picos de Europa National park. We planned to take a gondola ride up 6000’ to the top. What we didn’t plan on was snow. We were shocked to see snow at the base and even more surprised to see that the top was covered in thick white powder! We had jackets, but our bare feet were not prepared. It was funny...until my big toes started to lose feeling.
