Quick Guide GR 11

with everything you need to know before undertaking the Pyrenean Path

Hello everyone for the last time👋 We are coming to the end of this adventure! In this fifth (and last!) episode, you can see how I completed my crossing of the Pyrenees on foot in 44 days.. I am already in Catalan territory, leaving behind the imposing mountains that have surrounded me for weeks in previous episodes.

I invite you to join me on the last days of this journey, as I brave the scorching heat, traverse Mediterranean landscapes and villages, discover medieval ruins and even explore the wreckage of a plane that crashed decades ago.. Although this episode does not focus exclusively on the mountains, it is full of anecdotes and fascinating places:

We will travel through the Mediterranean villages of Beget and AlbanyàWe will ascend steep slopes such as the one at Bassegodaand we will survive the city of La JonqueraA striking contrast to the mountains that have surrounded me for 30 days. Finally, I enter the Cap de Creuswhere, leaving at 4 a.m., I intend to synchronise the sunrise and the end of this epic journey.

And finally, after 44 stages, 833 km travelled and 16 summits climbed, with the lighthouse of Cap de Creus behind me and the sun rising on the horizon, I bid farewell to this journey.. It has been more than a month of adventures, from which I take with me invaluable memories and unique experiences, both in solitude and in company.
