Directions to start	From northern Spain, E of both Jaca and Sabinanigo take the A138 north towards Bielsa village and the French border. When you arrive at the village of Salinas de Bielsa look for the A2609 towards Plan. Perhaps the best approach to having transport at the end of the walk is to drop a car at the end on the way up this valley – Rio Cinqueta. Look out for a L turn just before the “good” road ends and take this slightly fantastic road as it mounts in zig-zags past the village of Sin and on to Serveto. At the outskirts of the village there is an info board on the RHS and space for several cars. Now retrace your steps to the valley bottom and turn R up the valley. Continue past Plan, past San Juan de Plan and on up to the outskirst of the village of Chistain. Park anywhere on the RHS before you reach the narrow village streets. If travelling from Bielsa allow 1hr for car shuffling!
