Parking at La Farge.
(S/E) From the car park, head towards the village, take thefirst street on the right, "Al Cap de Pont", and cross the magnificent stone bridge over the Lentillà. Take the path on the right, then the one on the left that goes up to the village.
(1) At the road, take the stairs opposite (yellow markings) which lead to the church "Carrer d'En Jau" and the stopover lodge.
Opposite the church, take the concrete stairs that lead up to the road above (yellow markings).
(2) Take the stairs opposite, which turn into a path. This climbs up to a track where you turn right (altitude 720 m). Follow the track to the sign for La Roda - 810 m "Moline par Col de Teixó".
(3) Continue straight ahead on the track to see an old mining site. The track descends; at the bottom of the descent, turn right (wooden sign on a tree "les Mines"). This takes you to the edge of a hole corresponding to a collapse secured by a wire mesh fence on which information about the old mine is posted. You can continue a little further along this path, which descends to the furnace, which is in very good condition (be careful not to leave the path).
(4) Then return to the La Roda - 810 m "Moline par Col de Teixo" sign.
(3) Take the path on the right that climbs into the forest, marked in yellow. Pass Cortal de Can Carbonell 1104 m. Continue to the signpost "Col del Teixo" and "GR®36" at an altitude of 1230 m. Just before the fork on the left, above, is the old Carbonella: a metal oven where charcoal was made.
(5) From here, it is a round trip to the pass. To do this, take the path on the right, which will take you there in 15 minutes. Continue for about 20 metres along the ridge on the right (northbound) to reach the viewpoint, which offers a beautiful view of the Prades valley, the Madres massif and Canigou.
(6) Take the path back in the opposite direction to the previous junction.
(5) Follow the yellow markings to the right (despite the yellow cross) in the direction ofthe GR®36. The path climbs steeply and then stays on the hillside for a good while. Continue along this path until you reach the intersection with the formerGR®36variant (1190 m) where the sign indicates: Ras del Prat Cabrera to the right.
(7) Turn left, descending, onto the formerGR®36variant, marked in red and white.
(8) At the new signpost, turn left and follow theGR®36.
(9) Turn right to continue downhill (altitude 740 m), do not go through the gate on the left as indicated on the map. Join a track.
(10) Continue right along the track to the village.
(2) Turn right onto the path leading uphill (be careful not to miss the passage between the houses: yellow markings but less obvious on the descent). Return to the car park (S/E).
A very beautiful parish-specific hike with stunning views of the Vinca dam and Canigou. We parked in the Tore car park, avoiding the S/E at 2. Visiting the mine and the furnace gave us an insight into the hard work of the miners in the not-so-distant past. Be careful, as the sign indicating the mine is faded and difficult to see. The climb to the Col de Teixo is quite steep and straight. The yellow markings on the path, which stays on the hillside, are hard to find and follow (look for the cairns). Thank you anyway for this wonderful experience.
