coastal mountain region of remarkable natural beauty and diversity, Southern
Catalunya is mysteriously unknown outside of Spain. In the mountains, limestone
crags with well-established paths overlook the orange and olive groves perfect
for day walks with a long-distance path that runs along the coast for those
wanting to walk a little further. The walks all vary in difficulty, from coastal
trails to hands-on scrambles, but all are clearly marked at the start of each
route for route finding, scrambling and exposure. The region has not been
greatly visited by walkers from the UK, as it is not obvious from the general
tourist maps that it even has mountains yet with its benign winter climate it is
ideal for walkers from October through to May. These day walks boast spectacular
scenery including salt and freshwater lagoons surrounded by wildlife, high
mountainous regions as well as stunning coastal trails. 30 route descriptions,
illustrated with colour maps and photography all routes graded for difficulty
and route-finding thorough information about the history, culture, amenities,
wildlife, climate as well as other practicalities
