CATALONIA

What about Catalonia?

Catalonia occupies the upper right side of the Spanish peninsula *

The country spreads over 32,000 km2 with a population of 7,5 millions (17% of Spain)

Its territory is divided in "comarques", or counties, represented on the map below

The French part named Pyrenees Orientales (Occitanie) represents only 4,000 km2

The most exciting area for hiking

and walking in Western Europe

From the Pyrenees to the Mediterranean sea, there is a profusion of natural and historical resources, all of them easy to reach from the major cities: Perpignan, Girona, Barcelona.

On a relatively small perimetre, Catalonia provides a great array of mountainous reliefs as well as rocky and sandy

shores resulting in a succession of amazing sceneries.

Outstanding landscapes, splendid architectural heritage

along with mild temperatures and clear skies give a unique and strong character to the different regions.

The Catalan Pyrenees spreads for 350 km from the west

(Val d'Aran) to the eastern land's end of the Cap de Creus plunging in the Mediterranean sea. Between the two stand

the impressive summits of Alt Pirineu, the spectacular reliefs

of the Cadi and the emblematic Canigou.

The coastal areas include the Vermillion Coast and the popular Costa Brava (“wild coast”). Along 200 km, landscapes provide a magnificent succession of capes, cliffs, sandy beaches and pebble coves ("cales") sometimes of difficult access, all of them well-preserved.

* Mallorca, in the Balearic islands, can be reached flying from Barcelona. The island is not part of Catalonia but, as Andorra

also does, shares the same language and culture.

The walking routes have been there since ancestral times, especially inland where most of the historical heritage is concentrated.

The Catalan network of footpaths is one of the most important in Spain with more than 5,000 km of signposted tracks.

In terms of discovering and exploring, it makes Catalonia a highly privileged destination for hikers and hill walkers.
