We think Briñas is a lovely little town. Not much larger than a village really, it has a surprising amount of lodging - including a fairly modern hotel by the river where a VBT cycle tour group has been staying two nights. If you decided to stay here though we really recommend the place we stayed, the Hospedería Señorío de Briñas. In an 18th century palace house, it has a lot of character and as well discover the next morning it serves up a terrific breakfast.
After hanging around in our room for a few hours, we went out together for a walk in the late afternoon. We started out with my plan, to walk the trail along the bank of the Ebro as far as the medieval bridge. It didn’t take long though until Rachael looked back and down river, saw the enticing hills right behind town, and decided that looked more appealing. I helped her form a plan, to just follow the GR99 until she had enough and was ready to turn back toward town.
It worked great. We both enjoyed our walks. She put in her six miles to my four, and we both got back to our hotel about the same time not long before dark. Between the bike ride, lunch and our walks it added up to an outstanding day.
I didn’t have to go far before coming to the view I was hoping for: Briñas. You can also see here where Rachael went on her hike. She’s gone up he gap to the left of the main peak ahead, San Cristobal.
