Joan Carlos went out of his way to meet up in Llanars and drive with us up to the cottage. It would unwise to attempt it without JC (word to the wise) but we did appreciate accommodating our unpredictable timing.
As you drive this 8 km, you pass though meadows and horse ranches, and rise to the level of mountain pastures, past the few homes up this valley, to the house in the clouds. Perhaps not on the postal route, nor the well-beaten tourist routes!
It rained both days we were there, but we felt we'd earned the tranquility, the natural setting, and a very unique experience. We walked up through the pastures on the tracks following the music of the cow's bells, and exploring the views around the next corner. Hardly saw another soul - if this sounds like your cup of tea, this is a gem of an experience.
BTW - don't miss going to Setcases - we had a really great lunch at Can Jepet - the 4-course lunch menu (including wine) was one of the best meals we had in Spain! Very nice people also.
