Through the Spanish Pyrenees

£12.95

Walking through the Spanish Pyrenees (GR11) continues to increase in popularity, often as an alternative to the well-known areas of the Alps. A combination of spectacular high peaks, glistening tarns, deep green valleys and expanses of wild beauty as yet unseen by many visitors make the range an excellent choice for the adventurous walker - in addition to a moderate climate and easy access. Affectionately known as 'La Senda' (The Track) the GR11 is now a truly high-quality, high-level mountain trail on tracks and footpaths. It crosses the Pyrenees from coast to coast on the Spanish side of the border with France (mirroring the French counterpart, GR10).Paul Lucia has been exploring the Pyrenees for many years. He has extensively updated this fourth edition of the GR11 guide with revised maps, tables and profiles, accommodation details and route descriptions. The Spanish Pyrenees present a wonderland to the holidaymaker, whether backpacker, botanist, canoeist, cyclist, entomologist, mountain biker, skier, walker, or simply anyone with a love of mountain scenery. This guide will address the needs of walkers either on day trips or on longer expeditions.

The GR11 is fully covered, with the route divided into 44 days. For each day distance, height gain and loss, time, variants on the itinerary and a detailed description are given.
