Torroella De Montgri

At 2:30pm we arrived in Torroella de Montgri and as I pointed out the castle that we would climb too as we approached the town Ellie asked if I was serious. I had to admit that it was even higher than I thought but after settling in with a cup of tea and eating our cakes we brought from the bakery this morning at 4pm we set off.
The terrain was unreal, a 10% gradient all of the way up with large sections at 15% made our legs burn. To top it off when we weren’t on loose non grippy gravel we were in flint and quartz rocks that were huge.
It was a 233 meter of 2.5km and it took us an hour to get to the top. We could barely see Wanda from the first ridge line but once we were at the very top we could see the sea.
Once we were at the castle we climb to the very top ascending a freshly made spiral staircase in one of the lookout towers.
To enter the castle was free and the whole area is in an area of outstanding natural beauty and is protected. It was a great afternoons workout and this time we remembered water.
We arrived back at Wanda at 6:30pm to watch a great sunset whilst dinner cooked and then it was time to rest.Read more
