with Tim and Chris Parker This is a very good circular walk from Arles sur Tech which starts on the GR 10 at Arles and then comes back north/north east to the Batterie de Santa…
Whether you’re in training for the Tour de France, the London Marathon or just trying to lose a few extra kilos, this ‘piste cyclable’ has something for everyone.
Getting a little hot under the collar? Why not head for the cooler air of the Tech Valley?
Picture the gods cleaving the earth with a monstrous axe and you have the spectacular Gorges de Galamus.
This circular walk takes you from Céret up to the ermitage where you can picnic ‘on top of the world’ …
This walk also takes in the marina, the commercial port and then on out beyond the headland overlooking the harbour wall lighthouse ‘Feu de Mole’ (dating from 1848) and then touches the wild and rugged garrigue of Cap Bear.
We pass evocatively named places busy with history; Besalú, St Jaume de Llierca, Castellfollit de la Roca before entering Olot and the Parc Natural de la Zona Volcanica de la Garrotxa abundant with fascinating conical and sometimes symmetrical hills.
This walk is a circuit in the Albères hills above the small village of Villelongue-dels-Monts, part of which was one of the “PATHS OF FREEDOM” used by many escapees during WW2 and the ‘Retirada’.
This Estagel walk offers great views of the Corbières ridges and valleys and beyond. Straightforward, on easy pistes and tracks with some portions of road, and up a lovely rocky valley so walking boots are essential.
This is a steep walk, but the views are stunning, with plenty of wild rosemary, thyme, lavender. In April and May the flowers are fabulous and cover the hills.
