The Trans-Pyrenees is a mountain route across the Pyrenees<\/strong><\/a> from west to east. It starts at Cape Higuer<\/strong> <\/a>which is in Hondarribia, at the mouth of the river Bidasoa and ends at Cap de Creus<\/strong><\/a>very close to Cadaqu\u00e9s. It is also identified as GR11<\/strong>. It has 810 Kms and 78.000 mts of accumulated height difference (adding ascent and descent). Obviously it can be done in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reasons why at the age of 59, with no experience in mountaineering, in good physical condition but not a force of nature, I decided to do the Trans-Pyrenees Crossing in one go and alone<\/strong><\/a>are among those actions that occur to us, and that other people are not usually able to understand.<\/p>\n\n\n

I left Cape Higuer on 25 August 2017 and arrived at Cap de Creus on 30 September. Here I will give you some details about this experience. If you want to know more about the Trans-Pyrenees Crossing, you can consult the website www.travesiapirenaica.com, the route repository www.wikiloc.com or the Prames Guide, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n
