HUESCA is a city of  45,000 inhabitants which most Brits have never heard of, let alone are able to spell.

Located on a plain beneath the foothills of the Pyrenees the city is a truly well kept secret. In all the times I’ve been there I’ve come across only a couple of British residents. A few tourists can be found around the monuments, like the late Gothic cathedral and provincial archaeological museum, but they tend to be French or Spanish.

Coming as I do from Canterbury, which is always swarming with tourists, I am used to locals complaining about the visitors who dwardle along looking up at the architecture and then block the flow of pedestrians in the street as they stop to take pictures.
