Gently ascending the Espelta Upland, you arrive at the La Creu Vermella (Red Cross) crossroads, where you meet the GR 117, which you follow for the remainder of the route. Passing the Puig Rodó Dolmen, you reach the town of L’Estany, where it’s well worth visiting the Monastery of Santa Maria, built in the early 19th century and listed as a cultural heritage site of national interest.
