Hiking

The Grand Tour of Catalonia is an itinerary of more than 2,000 kilometres inspired by the great journeys popular among young European nobility in the mid-19^th century. It has been designed as a single thirteen-day itinerary or in five sections of between five and seven days.

Are you keen to discover them?
