Muralla de Finestres

The path climbs gradually through the arid landscape typical of the Sierra del Montsec. The ascent is steady but steep, with little shade, until you reach the ridges.

You then reach the Pic del Creu, a summit offering an impressive panoramic view of Lake Canelles and the surrounding hills. The ridge walk can be narrow in places, with a rather pronounced sense of exposure.

The descent then heads towards the Murallas de Finestras. You gradually approach these long rocky walls, whose silhouette becomes increasingly spectacular as you lose altitude. The path winds its way through scree and limestone areas, sometimes barely marked.

Once at the foot of the walls, the route heads southwards along the ridge, often on easier terrain but still isolated. This section offers a different perspective of the cliffs and the reservoir.
