The mountain angel

-by Ramón Serrano Polo-

Today is our last day in the Pyrenees. We climb from Baños de Panticosa to Collado de Brazato.

We reach the top, take a few photos and retrace our steps. We go along a path with a good slope on the left, on the right a slope of stones and rocks.

Suddenly, Loli stumbles and falls to the right, her cry of surprise startles us, I turn around, I see her fall, the support of her right hand on the rock is not enough to stop the blow, she hits the right side of her head against the rock, she remains unconscious for a few seconds, for us time has stopped, internally an idea comes to my brain, we have lost her!

But no, she begins to moan, cry and complain. Lorena, the doctor, examines her, there is no broken bone, the Biescas Health Centre later confirms it.

The Angel of the Mountain today was just another companion.
