Aguas Blancas is a company based in the Ordesa National Park in the Pyrenees specialized in adventure sports. The page is unfortunately only in Spanish.

Plane-Spotting

This is gloriously eccentric (unless you are a plane spotter, of course). Andy's plane-spotting holidays, this one being to Palma, Majorca. May he have many more.
