I walked from Llançà (essentially on the border), down to Montserrat (which does not take you through Barcelona), and then the Catalán through Huesca (which I’ve been told is much nicer than the Catalán through Lleida, but you could verify if...
Day 15: Arrés - Ruesta, 27 kms
Having a heafty breakfast in the morning was a real treat compared to the scraps I have been surviving on for the last week. Casa de las Sonrisas is really a cool place to stay. I was the last person to leave the...

Today I...
