Park in the car park near the village grocery shop, Camí del Canigó.
(S/E) Follow the D27 road to the right (red and white GRT83 markings) for about 300 m and negotiate the right-hand bend. Then leave this road to take a side road on the left (Camí de las Tarteres) until you reach a junction with information boards.
(1) Turn right onto theGRP®, marked in red and yellow, and follow it alongside a stream until you reach another junction.
(2) Turn right, pass a lodge and arrive at the official starting point of the Sentier des Mines. Walk past the “Grande Trémie” and begin the first ascent, which leads to Galerie 703, where a locomotive is situated. A few metres further on, just after the “Plan Incliné”, you’ll face a steep climb of around a hundred metres, leading to an old roasting furnace. Climb again to reach the Salver Mines plateau.
(3) Make the most of this vast open space to take a short break and admire the old miners’ buildings, as well as the second roasting furnace used for extracting iron ore. Leave theGRP® markings behind and head north following the yellow and white markings, which will take you back to Taurinya. After three hairpin bends, rejoin the red and white markings of the GRT 83.
(4) Go straight on, turn left onto the path, then carefully cross the RD27 to follow Carrer dels Ocellets opposite. You’ll come to a junction at the corner of the cemetery.
(5) Turn right onto Carrer de la Torre and you’ll reach the car park a few metres further on (S/E).
