Small Mountain Towns

Senegüe and some “locals”

I love to walk through the villages of the Pyrenees, some are very touristic, although they try to maintain the rustic air that gives them a special charm, others have resisted the passage of time that seems to have stopped in them, and there are many which could not survive, the construction of reservoirs or the hardness of life in the mountain forced its inhabitants to abandon them and they moved to places where they could live more comfortably.

Lanuza was abandoned when the swamp flooded its fields and some of its homes. Now it is alive again.

In Ainielle only the walls resist the hardness of the mountain.

Sandiniés. When the snow comes, life gets complicated.

Espierre. After winter, spring always comes, even in small towns

Sallent de Gállego. The corners of these small towns are filled with people in summer.

Torla.  In autumn the calm returns.
