DAY 3. THE WILDEST LANDSCAPE
Distance: 18 km
Today is an easier dya, but we have an ascent towards the Cingles de Bertí rocky cliffs that is also spectacular. From here, the panoramic views to the East, both over the Congost River Valley and the El Montseny Massif, is truly unforgettable. Always along areas of small hills and passes, the path will continue through orographic terraces, passing by historical areas, medieval sites and cascades and waterfalls. Tranfer to the hotel.
DAY 4. THROUGH FORESTS

During this day, the path goes among pine woods and crops. This kind of environment will characterize most of this trail.

DAY 5. THE SHAPED MOUNTAINS
Distance: 24 km
This itinerary provides an opportunity to experience some of the most emblematic landscapes of the Catalonian Serralada Litoral Mountain Range.

DAY 6. THE UNDISCOVERED SANT LLORENÇ NATURAL PARK
Distance: 12km
Between Mura and the town of Rellinars, the route will enter predominantly deserted areas.

We will discover the spectacular hidden site of the Natural Park of Sant Llorenç del Munt.
DAY 7. THE MAGIC MOUNTAIN: MONTSERRAT
Distance: 14km
Between Rellinars and Montserrat, the moutain will approach us. The Montserrat Mountain pointy stony teeth will levitate right over our heads.

OUR RECOMMENDATIONS
This hiking tour is suitable for experienced hikers who seek the tranquility of nature in the lesser known mountain ranges of Spain. This is a very beautiful and challenging walking holiday, with 6 days of hiking through mountains with at times rather steep paths. We would highly recommend this holiday to walkers who want to avoid crowds and are used to walk long distances in challenging terrain. Except for the very touristic monastery of Montserrat, your end destination, you will have the mountains to yourself.
You can extend this route all the way to Barcelona. (+ 3 walking days)
You can also extend your stay in Barcelona or Montserrat and organise extra activities, for example a tour of Montserrat by bike.
