La Torre de Querroig from the hamlet of Puig del Más in Banyuls-sur-Mer
From the hamlet of Puig del Más, the proposed hike follows the yellow markings of the Walter Benjamin Trail.A pretty balcony path leads to the French-Spanish border.The return from the Tower of Querroig is via a ridge path. The view is magnificent.Two other hikes I have done to reach the Torre de Querroig: Coastal path - Torre de Querroig from Banyuls-sur-mer - La Torre de Querroig from Portbou, return via the Walter Benjamin Trail
La Torre de Querroig via the coastal path from Banyuls-sur-mer
This is a long hike with some elevation gain, but the scenery along the way is well worth the effort.The coastal path is absolutely beautiful. The hike is well marked, but the GPX track may be useful. I have classified it as difficult.
See practical information (¹).
Another of my hikes offers a shorter version: Torre de Querroig from Banyuls-sur-Mer.
Torre de Querroig from Portbou, return along the Chemin Walter Benjamin
From Platja de Portbou, an ascent to Coll dels Belitres, a border ridge crossing. Then, after Coll de la Farella, the climb to Torre de Querroig. On the return journey, we pass Coll de Rumpissar and descend to Portbou along the Chemin de Walter Benjamin. See practical information. Constantly beautiful panoramas.
A gpx track is essential from (8) to (10). Steep gradients on some sections.Hike consists of trails (forbidden to all motorised traffic), paths (stony and steep), and a concrete track (at the finish).Warning: this hike is not recommended in very hot or scorching weather.
La Torre de Querroig from Cap Rederìs
Another way to climb to the Tour de Querroig.First, take the Sentier du Littoral coastal path to Cerbère. Then there is a steep climb to Coll de Belitres. Next, a pleasant little track leads to Coll de la Farella and another steep climb to Torre de Querroig.The descent to Coll de Cervera is steep, as is the rest of the route to Coll de Creu and Coll de Gran Bau.Given the steep paths involved, this hike can be considered difficult.
⚠️ Check whether the coastal path linking Argelès-sur-Mer to Cerbère is open or closed here before setting off on this hike.
