Stretching across Catalonia, this trail offers hikers a unique journey through coastal beauty, dense forests, charming villages, and historical sites. The route meanders along Catalonia's stunning Costa Brava, with breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea and hidden coves. It then winds through lush forests in the Montseny Natural Park, offering a glimpse of Catalonia's rich biodiversity. Along the way, hikers can explore picturesque Catalan towns, sample local cuisine, and immerse themselves in the region's vibrant culture, making it an unforgettable adventure for nature enthusiasts and history buffs alike.

Prepare[edit]

A note on footwear - approximately 80% of the hikers wear full hiking boots and thick socks. While running sneakers may suffice (and Choco-style sandals may work for a few days), your risk of injury is higher, and much of the trail involves hopping around on wet and/or sharp rocks. Choose conservatively, depending on the length of your hike and your experience.
