PORTS DE BECEITE
Just a few miles inland from the Costa Brava stands this fascinating and largely depopulated walker’s paradise. This small mountain range is made up of high plateaux and gorges. These have acted as a barrier between the coast and the hinterland - warding off armies and pestilence as well as tourists.
The small town of Valderrobres with its C16th Fonda hosts us for the first few nights before we follow a pilgrim trail over to our second base, the quiet hamlet of Corachar. An impossibly tranquil setting even has Ibex grazing in the nearby fields.
A half day is usually taken to visit the nearby historical town of Morella.
Package includes 6 days guided walking, Free local transport and HB in the Fonda la Plaza in Valderrobres (3 nights) and Hostatgeria Sant Juame in Corachar.
Successfully launched in 2006 (see our news pages and online blog for press coverage) this walk is fast becoming a fabourite for our clientel.
GRADING
The altitude at which walks take place will be between 600m and 1356m. This does not usually present any problems to those who are used to walking regularly.
* Routes are mainly on good paths, but occasionally some ‘off tracking’ will be required. The length of the walks varies from 4 to 6 hours and the maximum change of altitude will not exceed 500m.
* You should have a good level of fitness and walking boots are essential.
* The walking will be tailored to fit the capability of the whole group, with short stops being a good way to take in and find out more about the varied surroundings.
* Some walks will require a drop off and/or pick up in local transport that is free of charge
