Oh you’re killing me. I was there in the mid 70s and was blown away then. I really hope to get back, but is there any Camino that goes in the vicinity?
Pablo SetmeravellesI don’t believe there is, but you could do the hike between pueblos and pretend it’s a Camino? Warm up Camino? The Camino Catalan is pretty far away. I do know the Carros de Foc is close by, but the refugios book up pretty far in advance. But you need private transportation too.
