the walk

Walk that connects two small late medieval valley towns, passing via some spectacular cliffs with great views. Hill farms and fields (1/2/3), C12th romanesque chapel (1/2), transition from deciduous forests in ravines to evergreens (pines, Holm oak) on more open land to scrub at summit, limestone cliffs (1/2), views (Tagamanent/Matagalls 1-2/Valley
of Picamena
), scramble up cliffs to even better views (towards Barcelona), staggering ravine (not suitable for those with bad vertigo) with cool waterfall.

Bibliography included Josep Nuet i Badia and the relevant maps.

your group
number of people (including yourself) in your group
This is the total size of the group - you won't be sharing with a couple of dozen strangers like on other city tours.
Please tell us which (major) currency you want to use. If you turn up on the day with more people than agreed, no problem, but we will charge you a supplement per extra person on top of the total fixed price (this calculator will help you work out what that will be). If you turn up with less people than agreed, the total fixed price will generally not be discounted. Try to talk to us in advance in either case so we don't have to attempt mental arithmetic in public.
