Canfranc Station

My brother Neill and I stopped here in September 2022 when we were on the way to Aragón for the MotoGP. 

We had come over the Somport Pass. Then station was still fenced off and the builders were still working on it.

Skip forward to late May 2024. It's mostly finished. The main central portion is opened as a hotel. 

The ends of the main building, that might have been storage, are still in need of major repo work. The facades are cleaned but inside they still look derelict.

We checked out the aire. It's not free, and with hindsight after the terrible journey down very narrow lanes in France, we should have stayed there! Plenty of free spaces and they have electric hook-up.

We did park up in the town where we could get a coffee. The same bakery/café where Neill and I went before. This time we had chocolate and churros. It was the only place open... And not dog friendly.

From there we took the Somport Tunnel. It was getting too late in the day to tempt us over the Pass in a 2.8m wide and tall vehicle.
