GR11 - Day 19 - to Refugio de Biados

Although we had to climb 1445 m, it didn't feel steep because we were doing it over a large distance. The scenery we are getting these days is more along my pre-conceived idea of the Pyrenees, mountainous ridges with a lot of green valleys and pastures. We were treated to mountainsides full of nice dark pink rhododendrums in full bloom. We had a few head-scratching moments, but with the help of the GPS, we managed to find our way without getting lost. It was nice to reach the Refugio de Biados after 7h05. It was nice for a change to arrive early and have a bed.
