Description
A distinct mountain landscape in southern Catalonia.
The Ebro regions feature large limestone formations, forested heights, and small towns with a clear history. The book demonstrates how these can be explored through day trips and a longer itinerary. It offers an alternative to the most famous Catalan hiking areas, allowing for the combination of mountain experiences with time in villages and other regional sites during a single holiday in this part of Spain.
Thirty graded walks in three sub-areas.
The selection covers els Ports, Serra de Cardó, and Serra de Montsià, ranging from manageable walks to more demanding itineraries. A two-day option around Sant Roc and Arnes allows for a more continuous trek. You can thus choose excursions from a single base or plan a few days where several landscapes are linked, depending on experience and what suits your specific stay in the region.
Maps and practical descriptions for route selection.
Route descriptions and maps support navigation and provide a basis for assessing starting points and execution. The book helps you compare walks before choosing, accommodating various interests and levels within the hiking group. It is useful both when planning the itinerary from home and when seeking a suitable alternative based on the weather forecast and daily form during a stay in this landscape.
Choose itineraries based on heat, altitude, and terrain.
A coastal location does not mean all routes are easy or that conditions are the same throughout the year. Ascent, exposure, and temperature should be considered alongside distance. The guide is suitable for hikers who desire a wide selection and can actively use descriptions and gradings, with updated local information as a supplement when specific destinations and plans must be adapted to the conditions the group actually encounters on the day.
A long tradition of guidebooks.
Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher grew out of a community of climbers and mountain people who wanted to share detailed knowledge of their routes – a tradition that still shapes the publisher’s books on hiking, trekking, and other outdoor experiences.
