From Perpignan, head towards Le Boulou, Céret, Amélie-les-Bains, Arles-sur-Tech.
At the entrance to Arles-sur-Tech, you must go to the first roundabout (271 m), turn around and take the first road on the left towards "Les Molinots".
Stop at Can Gall (chez Gall) at an old yellow marker and cairns. Park on the right-hand side of the road.
(S/E) Go back down the road and take the first track on the left towards Coll d'en Gros (wooden sign at the start of the track).
(1) At the rocky peak overlooking the valley (sculpture fixed to the top of the rock), continue climbing to Mas Roviro.
(2) A chain before and a chain after the farmhouse block the track, but continue regardless and, after passing the second chain, go around the farmhouse on the right via a grassy track. After a long left-hand bend and after passing the farmhouse, look for a rope fixed to the ground on the left, at the foot of an old tree.
(3) This rope provides access to the path that climbs up the mountainside among holm oaks and cork oaks towards Pla del Castanyer. Continue until you reach a crossroads on flat ground.
(4) Cross it and after a few metres, take the path that branches off to the left and at the fork that follows shortly after, stay on the path that descends to the left (cairn). At a fork in the path, continue to the right, climbing uphill and following the old yellow markings.
You will reach the ruins of Mas Joan Sorribes de Dalt (a beautiful spot for a break).
(5) Continue through the pine forest.
(6) Cross the Còrrec del Verdàs.
(7) When you reach the Corniche des Échades, be very careful. Warning signs. Continue and you will come to a crossroads.
(8) Continue climbing steeply to the right (towards Cortal d'en Corona) to reach Ribera de Bonabosc and its small waterfall.
(9) The path continues to climb steeply, still through the woods, until you reach the ruins of Cortal d'en Corona.
You can make a round trip to the ruins of the farmhouse by continuing straight ahead, heading south.
(10) Continue climbing to the right to reach the Dolmen Forest Road.
(11) Turn left and follow the path to the Dolmen de La Caixa de Rotlan (Roland's tomb).
(12) Continue down the track on the left towards Can Gall. On the way, take a look at some mimosas and arbutus trees.
(13) Pass the 1936 Fountain of the Unemployed and continue downhill.
(14) Cross the hamlet of El Molinot and return to the car park at Can Gall (S/E).
