Here I gorged on berries and found a very beautiful camping spot 😀
Day 31-32 of my big hike: https://videos.trom.tf/w/bLjxJy6zukn5zN4xTPmpdJ
Here I walked from Lac de Mar on the HRP, camped by Lac Tort de Rius, then joined back up with the GR11 and walked down to Refugi de Conangles, then camped by Estany de Anglios. (All in Spain).
Day 30 of my thru-hike across the Pyrenees Mountains:
https://videos.trom.tf/w/uqTyudp1MvcF7GTzKSSbgX
Here I walked from Estanh Long de Colomers, followed the GR11 trail to Lac Deth, where I swam, camped, and made a satay chicken taco 😄 On day 31 I walked to Lake Restanca and then onto the HRP to Lac de Mar.
Very impressive lakes in this part of the Spanish Pyrenees! I loved them!
I had a very nice rest day at Lake Maurici- where you’re absolutely not supposed to camp! Ooops 😄. Then I walked through Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park (Catalonia's only national park, with almost 200 lakes) and camped near Lake Obago.
My thru-hike Day 25-27-
https://videos.trom.tf/w/3WjVNkM9HmYvG7xsruJQHz
Here I walked from Tavascan (Spain) to Lake Maurici, passing by a few small villages and finding camping wherever possible. I also learned a lesson here: never put your bag on the ground in these small villages- as there are plenty of dogs there!
Day 23-24: https://videos.trom.tf/w/12ffEq8NRNxdWNEwym2bhy
Here I walked from the Baiau Refuge, turned off of the GR11 to trek the HRP (Haute Route Pyrenees) and slept in Refugi de Baborte (also called Refugi del Cinquantenari). Then I took another variation and followed a trail called “La Porta del Cel” to get back to the GR11 at a little village called Tavascan.
A day well spent! 😄

It’s a nice video with a positive message in the end. The only thing it’s missing, I’d say, is a mention of some alternative couchsurfing platforms like https://www.trustroots.org/ and https://www.bewelcome.org/ – those that haven’t morphed into an evil profit-driven company 😁
I explained the whole Couchsurfing story in more detail here- https://www.bigworldsmallsasha.com/2020/05/26/the-death-of-couchsurfing/
That’s why I’m in this mini-doc 😀
Do You Know Where You Come From?
There’s an extraordinary fact about Earthlings- and all Earth things- that I suspect many people are not aware of. It’s a story- an incredible story that we, humans, have discovered fairly recently.Big World | Small Sasha
I added some Pyrenees photos to my photo page: https://www.bigworldsmallsasha.com/photos/
It seemed a bit out of date since I had nothing there since 2019. Now 2021 is there :)
Love those Pyrenees mountain lakes :)
Over the past 2-3 months I've been coming back to the secret octopus bay and I've figured out that there are three octopuses that like human feet :D And there is one octopus that is particularly friendly. She even took me by the hand, held me in strong current, and dragged me around the bay!
I updated my octopus blog with a bunch of new videos so you can see all of this here- https://www.bigworldsmallsasha.com/2021/04/28/meeting-an-octopus/

I’ll spend the rest of the summer walking across the Pyrenees Mountains and thinking about it 😁
I plan to leave in 1 week.
