All of the walks had beautiful views and challenging sections, but the one that really stood out was Els Frares. On the last day of the vacation, we scrambled up the scree covered face of the mountain in front of Quatretondeta past amazing pinnacles and ran back down.

Great walks - plenty of opportunities to revisit and not repeat any walks you have previously done. Away from mainstream tourism to not be bothered by crowds, yet close enough to the main airports (and trains if that is your preference) for easy travel.

I thoroughly enjoyed it - the dramatic jagged mountain scenery, the (unseasonably over 30 degreees) hot and sunny October weather, delicious food and great company. This was a prefect antidote to the British Summer.
