Quick Guide GR 11

with everything you need to know before undertaking the Pyrenean Path

Hello 👋! I'm Pau, an adventurer from Barcelona, a lover of the Pyrenees. About a year ago, I plunged into the adventure of hiking the GR11, an 833-kilometre trail that crosses the mountain range, sometimes detouring to try to crown mythical peaks like the Aneto, the Perdiguero or the Pica de Estats, although not everything went exactly as I expected😅...

This challenge turned into a unique 44-day experience, where the red and white waymarks were my constant guide.

With the essentials in my backpack, I set off for the mountains with a clear objective: to walk for 40 to 50 days, to discover corners of the mountain range and to camp wherever the night surprised me. The GR presented itself as the perfect challenge, an opportunity to go back to basics: walk, eat, sleep and repeat.

In this first episode, I invite you to explore with me the breathtaking landscapes of the Basque Country and Navarre. From the start at Cape Higuer to the gates of the Aragonese Pyrenees, just before reaching Aguas Tuertas. You will see how I slept in churches such as those in the villages of Bera and Elizondo, how I became familiar with the menu that would accompany me for more than a month (tins, sausages and dehydrated noodles) and how the mysterious fog of the pre-Pyrenees of Navarre played tricks on me. Don't miss this journey!
