Jaca and Leyre monastery

[Jake Royd]

Arrived in Jaca today at the Aire.
Torrential rain on the French side and Sun and blue sky on the Spanish side of the Somport tunnel.
We arrived at the Aire quite early, about noon, there were 3 spaces left
Some of the vans looked like they had been here for sometime.
Aire full by 2pm but space available around it.

Planning just West of Pamplona tomorrow with a stop to see the monastery at Leyte.
Does anybody know what MH parking and access is like please?

I've just had a look at Google Maps, The road although 'country' it's fine. (Apparently, there's a quarry on the approach, hence good surface) Approaching from the west on the NA2113.
At the monastery itself there's a free car park. Enjoy.

Probably to late to mention but when we were at Aire at Jaca late April 2018 we moved from under the trees as the small yellow leaves were sticking to everything , soles of shoes, dogs paws and staining yellow, never found our what they were.

That'll be the Bambino-Mierda tree.

Yes, there were clouds of exploding seeds containing a sort of cotton fibre, got everywhere.
Seen it elsewhere as well.
Must Google it.

BTW the monastery visitor CTR was closed, its a Sunday?

Expensive looking Parador there which was open.
