Palomeres
Some days ago I went to paddle the Palomeres with some friends. The Palomeres is a little creek that flows from Tavascan, one of the best valleys in the Pyrennes.
Palomeres is one of my favourite runs here in the Pyrennes, and it’s just 40 minutes from home. This was my first run of this season on the Palomeres, and I was really happy about paddling this little creek. However it’s just 600 metres long, it has some really good rapids and when the river is plenty of water it’s awesome.

However the river wasn’t high, we had a great level and a perfect day with clear sky sunshine, so we ran it couple times and then headed to the Upper Noguera on the next valley. The upper noguera is wider and has more water than the Palomeres however it’s way less steep.
So after running these greats rivers we drove back home, and got back to real life.
