THE PYRENEES OF LLEIDA & VALL D’ARAN
The great mountain chain which
unites the Mediterranean and the
Atlantic is in reality a collection of
sierras, some of them with peaks
over 200 metres high.
Of very different geological
composition, each sierra has it’s
own appearance. A central axis
exists, formed by great granite
peaks modelled by ancient glaciers,
escorted by a margin of limestone
relief of small valleys cut off between
cliff-faces.
Unlike the rest of the Pyrenees, in
the Vall d’Aran the Garona rises,
a river which reaches the Atlantic.
This orientation meant for a long
time, isolation during the long
winter months of the Pyrenees, to
the extent that this area speaks
the aranès, a language of the
Gascoigne group
Following this same distribution,
the alpine parts covered in snow for
the best part of the year, follow a
path through the woods of conifers,
beeches and birch as we descend
and in the limestone parts, the
oaks and holm oaks, these now
influenced by the Mediterranean.
All these mountains still conserve
ancient names, among which we
highlight Basque and Celt, but in
contrast the names of the villages
scattered around are modern, well
into the first millenium. Among
the rooftops of these villages and
hamlets, a Romanesque bell tower
always stands out which speaks
to us of a fundamental era for
understanding the history of the so-
called Old Catalonia.
This extensive history and the
distance has made for an important
cultural font and traditions, many
of which are still maintained and
which we can live in the fiestas and
popular celebrations.
Walking through the Pyrenees
allows us to enjoy the spectacle
which can be seen from its peaks,
but also allows us to relive our
ancient history and live first hand
some of these thousand-year old
traditions.

The Cadí-Moixeró Natural Park
is a mountain park. In the Cadí,
heights vary between 800m at
the bottom of the valleys and
2,648m at the highest point and
the mountain sides form sharp
cliffs with almost vertical walls,
deep valleys and abrupt canals.
The Moixeró sierra ends in the
High Peaks of the Moixeró and
extensive forest areas stand out
with places like the Pi (Pine)
Valley or the Font Llebrera.
Among the fauna, the chamois,
roe deer, deer, wood grouse,
golden eagle or the bearded
vulture stand out. In Spring,
the flora (gentiana, alpenrose,
autumn crocus etc) covers the
fields and in the Autumn the
river bank trees (alder, poplar,
rowan etc) make a symphony of
colours.
To be able to enjoy this
privileged environment, we have
prepared 4 spectacular and
diverse itineraries:
- Excursion to the Pi Valley,
circular route from Cal Trisca
to discover the sub-alpine
dwellings formed from thick
woods of red and black pine,
as well as the Roca Foradada
(rock with a hole in it), the
emblem of the omnipresent
limestone formation of the
sierra.
- Ascend to the top of
Comabona (2.547m), the most
easterly peak of the sierra,
from Prat d’Aguiló (Eagle Field)
(2.037 m). We suggest going

Segadors (Reapers’ path)
which takes us to the village
of Nas.

THE SOUTH OF CATALONIA
New Catalonia, historically, is the land
south of the river Llobregat which
was for nearly 4 centuries under Arab
domination, until well into the 13th
century. The river Ebro, one of the main
rivers of the Iberian peninsula, is a
primordial element within this space,
and crosses the group of coastal sierras
of middling height which accompany the
sea, along its whole length.
Southern Catalonia is so varied, with
diverse and fascinating landscape in
such a small territory, which make it
unique and different to the north. Highly
diverse nature reserves, stunning
unknown spots, amazing cultural
heritage, thousand-year old traditions,
delicious locally grown and handcrafted
products, warm and welcoming
accommodations,...
The mountains of Prades, the Sierra of
Montsant, the Sierra of Llabería, Cardó
and els Ports, are also the name of
the natural parks which testify to the
good state of conservation and also the
fragility of these areas.
They are many, the names and events
which talk to us of the past and which
we find among us. The main one,
the Ebro, with reference to the Ibers,
villages which came into contact with
the Phoenician, Greek and then Roman
voyages, but also we can find villages
with names of Arab peoples and of
Christians arrived from afar and who
established themselves in the south of
Catalonia.
During the 12th and 13th centuries
the military orders like the Hospitallers
and Templars defended this frontier.
Later, deforestation of the interior of
the Ebro valley in the 15th and 16th
centuries favoured the formation of
a Delta at the mouth of the Ebro and
which we find today. The wars of the
Spanish succession revolutionised
these mountains which argued between
Carlist and liberal parties. Finally the
Ebro became the backdrop for one of
the most cruel battles of the Spanish
civil war, or as those
who know say, the first
battlefield of the Second
World War.
To get close to the
South of Catalonia a
special sensitivity is
needed, which will be
recompensed in writing,
once steeped in the
history, the landscape
and the gentility of the
people we find while
enjoying our excursions

GR175 - THE CISTERCIAN ROUTE
The GR 175, the Cistercian Route,
forms part of the large European
network of signposted footpaths and
it is the only trail linking the three
most outstanding Cistercian Order
monasteries in Catalonia.
The monasteries of Santes Creus,
Poblet and Vallbona de les Monges are located in the
inland regions of Alt Camp, Conca de Barberà and Urgell
respectively.

The route is circular with a total of 105 km
and 108 km for cyclists. There are 4 variants
in the most difficult for transit riders. It is all
well-signposted with the usual red and white
GR blazes and waymarked posts showing
additional information on each site and its
height. The path is also well-conditioned
with railings, handrails and steps where
necessary to ensure a safe and comfortable
hike.
The Cistercian Route is suitable for anyone
who is used to hiking, since it does not entail
anything harder than some moderate slopes
and the distance itself.You can do it in as
many stages as you like, always taking into
account how long you can spend on it, what
you are aiming at and how fit you are.
There are some striking experiences to be
enjoyed along the way, such as evening
prayers at Poblet accompanied by the monks’
canticles following a superb walk over the
wooded hills of Prades - Paratge de Poblet;
the idyllic approach to Vallbona de les
Monges through the vineyards of La Conca
and the fields of L’Urgell, which complements
perfectly the nuns’ contemplative Vespers; or
a hike along the rugged ridge of El Cogulló
and the contrasting flatlands of L’Alt Camp to
get to the impressive monastery of Santes
Creus.
There is still much to see, ably brought
alive by a multi-lingual dramatic audiovisual
installation, and English-speaking guides
who will relate the medieval legends of the
monastery.You are bound to enjoy all of
these experiences, which you will only find
along the Cistercian Route.
The GR 175, the Cistercian Route, is more
than just a footpath, it is the link between the
three most outstanding monasteries of the
Cistercian Order in Catalonia, a walk through
the history of its towns, the close-up to some
man-modelled lands and some pristine
natural features, the taste of an original local
cuisine, rooted as firmly to the landscape as
the people who live and love the area. This
route is all you are willing to come across. It
is the GR 175, the Cistercian Route.

WINE ROUTES
Between Camp de
Tarragona and the lands
of the Ebro, hidden
behind the pre-littoral
sierra at only 40 km.
from the beach, we ﬁnd
the region of the Priorat. Touring the Priorat is to immerse
yourself in a land of character. Villages and landscapes form
an inseparable whole which captivates the visitor.
The Priorat is a land of contrasts, infused with peace,
with typical countryside of dry agriculture and a very hilly
geography which hides its’ charm in vineyards, olive groves,
verges and dry stone of the mountains.

From north to south and from east to west,
under the omnipresent eye of the Sierra of
Montsant, today the Natural Park, we find
areas of great beauty and natural interest:
the area of Siurana, the sierras of Pradell–
l’Argentera or the Sierra of Llaberia with the
majestic Mola.Very well-conserved places.
Ideal for trekking and in some cases climbing
which can be found all around the Priorat
geography.
The Consell Comarcal (regional council) of
Priorat has created a network of paths made
up of old livestock routes, rail tracks, paths
and also carriage lanes and more recent
agricultural trails. A network which permits
us to discover the region from north to south,
from east to west, linking each and every
one of our villages. Paths which in many
cases had been abandoned and engulfed by
vegetation and now recovering their original
use.
They say that the paths are the sons of
memory, which keep the secrets of history.
The paths of the wine of Priorat are the
paths where the life, work and desires of
this region travelled for centuries. They talk
of a prosperous region, converted into a
sea of vineyards, but also of the tragedy of
the fil•loxera, of the hard and difficult years
too.. They are paths which talk after a time,
of the reemergence of the hand of quality,
character and passion.
As well as reliving the past, the old paths
invite us to live a more vital present, more
immediate. This is about offering a taste, on
foot, slowly, the air which the vines breathe
from this so special land. The region gives
as a present to everyone, its paths which
