The Tossal Arrier circuit via the Ronesa path from Mesón Maigmo

An easy walk to get back into the swing of things or to enjoy with the family, mainly through woodland surrounded by beautiful peaks. The first part follows a quiet tarmac road and the return leg takes you along footpaths.

To get to this starting point by car, see the ‘Practical Information’ section below.

(S/E) Head towards the tarmac road where you’ll see the sign for “Pantano de Tibi”. Follow the road.

(1) At the junction, follow the tarmac road to the right signposted “Pantano de Tibi”.

(2) Shortly afterwards, at the fork, follow the tarmac road to the left.

(3) Carry on, keeping the road on your right.

(4) Stunning view over the Barranc de Ronesa and Tibi Dam Lake. Keep to the right at the Fork in the road.

I was surprised by the beauty of the scenery, given that the starting point didn’t look very promising. On the other hand, you can park easily and have a coffee or even lunch before or after the walk!
You need to be careful on the second part of the walk as there’s a whole network of small paths and it’s easy to take a wrong turn!
