Thisva warning to anyone visiting the Cathedral at Jaca. There is a dangerous situation in the cathedral - the lights only come on if you put 1 euro into the slot. Otherwise it is in darkness. Someone in our group had a serious accident in the cathedral on Monday afternoon. It was pouring with rain so in order to escape it, she entered the cathedral through the side door. With no lights on, she did not see the 3 steps and slipped and fell. Had the lights been on this would not have happened or at least access should not be allowed the side door of the Cathdral. The ambulance was called and she was taken to Jaca Hospital where they found that she had a broken femur in two places. It took almost 5 days of negotiations for her South African Europe Assist, the Spanish Europe Assist travel insurance company and the hospital to find a hospital to which she could be transferred that could do the operation. Eventually she was taken to Barcelona by ambulance last night and the operated on her today at 1230.
