Paths, trails and footpaths cross Catalonia from north to south and from east to west. They are routes full of history, which trace the line of the Mediterranean coast and reach the highest peaks of the Pyrenees; they cross lush forests, deep valleys and they also find themselves between vineyards and crops. If you like hiking, we have a lot to offer you! Specifically, you have at your disposal a network of 5,000 kilometers of long-distance trails (GR) and another 4,000 kilometers of short-distance trails (PR) and local trails (SL). All are perfectly marked, with approved signs and milestones. There are also guide companies that will help you orient yourself and discover the best corners that the hiking routes in Catalonia have to offer. And the variety of the Catalan landscape is immense and is perfectly reflected in our trails. Nature is one of the main arguments for excursions in Catalonia, very different places where flora, fauna and geology coexist. Paths full of history, culture, and spirituality The Aigüestortes and Estany de Sant Maurici National Park and natural parks such as Cadí-Moixeró, les Ports, Montseny or the Garrotxa Volcanic Zone take you to the mountains, through itineraries such as the Sender dels Pirineus, the Sender Transversal, the Camí del Nord o del Canigo and the Circular de la Val d'Aran, for example. While others such as the Aiguamolls de l'Empordà, the Delta de l'Ebre, the Delta del Llobregat or Cap de Creus take you right to the seashore, following routes such as the Sender de la Mediterrania or the Camino de Sant Jaume, the Ignatian Way, the Camí dels Bons Homes, the Camí Romeu a Montserrat or the Ruta del Cister will allow you to enjoy walks and landscapes, while discovering some of the most important symbolic roots of Catalonia. Monasteries, large temples and small churches, castles, walls and vestiges of many eras bear witness to the passage of civilizations through Catalonia, all within reach of a route. Hiking for everyone in Catalonia Hiking in Catalonia is not only intended for experts in the field with great physical resistence and high levels of technical knowledge. Rather, there are routes for everyone. There are long and complex crossings, which require some autonomy, but there are also intermediate level routes and even simple routes, accessible to families and adapted to people with special needs. In this last group, the greenways stand out, old railway lines converted into paths with minimal gradient for walking or cycling. And the best thing is that you can find it from Terra Alta and Ebre to Garrotxa and the Costa Brava. They are the best option for starting hiking or going on simple trips with safety. Whatever the route you choose and whatever your experience and your physical and technical level, you will be grateful to have accommodation adapted to the needs of the hiker when you finish the route. Catalonia has a wide range of hotels, hostels, shelters, campsites and refuges, with facilities designed for your rest so that you can prepare the next stage or the next route with maximum comfort.
