Rest Day 1 - Jaca

In the low 40's and on and off light sprinkles most of the day mixed with wonderful sunshine.   Our little Casa Mamre is just around the corner from the Cathedral of San Pedro C11th and the Diocesan Museum of Jaca, which was open in 1970 in the cloister.  

The museum has what's considered the most important collection of medieval art in Spain outside Barcelona.  Amazing frescos removed from churches in the area to protect them.  Not only that but it was out of the rain, no backpacks and relatively warm so we took our time this morning enjoying the art.  Sorry, no pictures allowed.

Later we walked a few blocks to the Ciudadela, an enormous C17th citadel where deer roam in the dry moat and visited the castle and the museum of miniature soldiers...

Off to a Tapas bar/restaurant for an early meal.  Plates of local mushrooms, calamari, and eggplant  spears deep fried with basaltic and honey sauce....we could just stay here and eat for a few more days.

Mushrooms from the mountains before they were cooked.

Jaca is my new favorite town.  Oh yes I forgot as we were paying the bill, our waitress, the owner's daughter brought us complimentary shot glasses of sweet liquor that she had made and little biscuits that her Mom had made.

It's raining again but we're tucked in a warm room enjoying the rest day.
