Rabós walks

A very pretty hike that starts on a path on the France-Spain border and descends to the Spanish Hermitage. Among other things, you will discover fountains and border markers. See practical information (regarding the condition of the path).

A little-used trail from Coll de Banyuls to Puig de la Calma with views of Banyuls-sur-Mer and Spain. Scrubland, forests, grazing cattle. The route can be extended by following the border towards Tour Querroig.

First, there is a short stretch of track, then a superb path that climbs steeply and passes by the Dolmen de la Cova dels Alarbs. Then the route continues along a steep path through the rocks as you approach the Sallfort pastures. The Visorando GPX track is essential, especially if the weather is poor (fog, clouds, snow). Do not underestimate this short but steep hike. The elevation gain is close to 850 m. Route modified on 30 November 2022.

Stunning panoramic views of the sea, Llanca, Puerto de la Selva, Cap Creus, Rosas Bay and Les Albères. Take a well-deserved break at the fountain square in the village of Serra de Rodes

From Platja de Portbou, an ascent to Coll dels Belitres, a border ridge crossing. Then, after Coll de la Farella, the climb to Torre de Querroig. On the return journey, we pass Coll de Rumpissar and descend to Portbou along the Chemin de Walter Benjamin. See practical information. Constantly beautiful panoramas. A gpx track is essential from (8) to (10). Steep gradients on some sections.Hike consists of trails (forbidden to all motorised traffic), paths (stony and steep), and a concrete track (at the finish).Warning: this hike is not recommended in very hot or scorching weather.

All in all, this is a fairly challenging circular hike. You need to know how to find your way around to undertake this hike.Part of the hike is unmarked and off-trail.However, the climb to Puig Sallfort can be done as a simple round trip via theGR®®10. GPX track strongly recommended from (5) to (6): from Creu du Sallfort to Chemin de l'eau.

A long hike with a significant difference in altitude. From the Col des Gascons, climb to Coll de Vallauria, the water trail, Les Colomates, a ridge to Puig dels Quatre Termes. Return along the GR®®10. Pass Puig de Sallfort and descend along the GR®10.Beautiful scenery, cows, beech forests, springs, a hut, a refuge, summits - enough to keep you busy for a day.La Massane Forest Reserve. Please respect this fragile and protected area from (8) to (16).

From the hamlet of Puig del Más, the proposed hike follows the yellow markings of the Walter Benjamin Trail. A pretty balcony path leads to the French-Spanish border. The return from the Tour de Querroig is via a ridge path. The view is magnificent. Two other hikes I recommend to reach the Torre de Querroig: Coastal trail - Torre de Querroig from Banyuls-sur-mer - Torre de Querroig from Portbou, return via the Walter Benjamin Trail

This hike offers beautiful views of the seaside resorts that we will overlook throughout the day as we pass through numerous mountain passes. From Argelès-sur-Mer to Banyuls-sur-Mer, and even beyond if the sky is clear, via Collioure and Port-Vendres, the entire Côte Vermeille stretches out before us. The final stretch in Banyuls-sur-Mer allows us to see the official GR®10 sign, the starting (or finishing) point of the Grande Randonnée trail that links this town to Hendaye (from Catalan Country to Basque Country) across the entire Pyrenees mountain range.

This hike, which is short but includes some steep sections, is undoubtedly the easiest and quickest way to climb to the Madeloc Tower, where you can enjoy a superb panorama.

This is an easy short hike with beautiful sea views.

A circular hike from Banyuls-sur-Mer that takes you past ancient monuments designed by Vauban. Several legendary passes, the Chemin de l'Eau and the Torre de Madaloc. A beautiful view of the coastline. In addition, the first part of the climb is on the famousGR®10trail. This hike includes La Torre de Madaloc as part of a circular route.

The path from Llança is well marked and climbs steadily to the monastery. As a bonus, a visit to the monastery can enhance your outing. We started from Cau del Llop beach, but we recommend starting from km 2 of our route at the GR®11 in the village. The road infrastructure behind the fire station allows you to park your vehicle without any problems. The descent from the monastery via a local trail allows you to discover the village of La Vall de Santa Creu and reach Llança via the cami de ronda along the coast.

Banyuls-sur-Mer has a rugged rocky coastline. The path running along the cliffs offers views of pretty headlands. The climb through the vineyards offers breathtaking views and allows you to appreciate the former "smugglers' republic", now the capital of Banyuls wine.

This is a long hike with some elevation gain, but the scenery along the way is well worth the effort.The coastal path is absolutely beautiful. The hike is well marked, but the GPX track may be useful. I have classified it as difficult. See practical information (¹). Another of my hikes offers a shorter version: Torre de Querroig from Banyuls-sur-Mer.

A hike starting from Peyrefite Beach, which runs mostly along the rocky coast, from cove to cove, to reach the town of Cerbère, then the eponymous cape and its solar-powered lighthouse, passing by the old customs post of Coll dels Belitres and the ridge marking the border between Spain and France. Return to the starting point via the same route from the centre of Cerbère.

This hike takes you from Banyuls-sur-Mer station to Collioure station. There are frequent trains, so you can take one back. You can break up the hike at Port-Vendres station. The route follows the coast from Banyuls to Cap Béar (Cap de Biarra), passing through Anse de Paulilles (Badia de Polilles). Then you cross Port-Vendres to climb up towards Fort Saint Elme and descend with a splendid view of Collioure.

A three-day hike covering the first three sections ofthe GR®®10. An easy route with no major difficulties, except for the length of the stages, but with panoramic views to enjoy.

First stage of this trek to Amélie-les-Bains. A big day awaits you, but you'll be rewarded with spectacular views. Thefirst morning is physically demanding, especially if it's hot in summer. You'll climb 1,000 metres in one go. The rest of the day is more relaxed, as you'll be on the ridge.

A beautiful getaway open to all, with an elevation gain of about 300 m over 8 km, offering beautiful panoramic views in the heart of the Catalan coast.

This is a fairly difficult hike where a good sense of direction is necessary in places. Discovery hike with a possible passage through a tunnel. This hike can be done in reverse, which avoids the steep descent at the end of the route after the (12). January 2025. Modification of the route (8) and description. Yellow markings modified to avoid certain areas in this overcrowded forest.

A wild rocky coastline, small forgotten coves, terraced vineyards that seem to hang above the waves: this is what you can expect on this hike dotted with maritime pines and prickly pears. Along the way, the historic and beautifully restored site of Paulilles and various beaches inviting you to take a dip add to the pleasure of this walk in the soft light of the Côte Vermeille.

This is a demanding hike that begins on the coastal path, allowing you to discover several coves and secluded beaches as well as beautiful views of the Côte Vermeille. The arrival in Cerbère marks the beginning of the second part, where you will climb to reach the magnificent Puig Joan viewpoint after a very challenging ascent. The return journey is along the ridge, offering remarkable views of both the vine-covered hinterland and the coast.

Starting from a car park offering breathtaking views of the Bay of Rosas, a hiking trail rises up, promising one of the most beautiful experiences on the Costa Brava. This walk, as beautiful as its destination, leads to an exceptional site: the Benedictine monastery of San Pere de Rodes. Perched on the mountainside, this masterpiece of Romanesque art awaits you for an unforgettable dive into history, all for the modest sum of €6. Prepare to fall in love with this place, where the beauty of the Mediterranean landscape meets architectural grandeur.

A short, easy circular route, even for children, to visit Sant Salvador de Verdera Castle and Sant Pere de Rodes Monastery. Very well-marked trails with superb views of the Mediterranean Sea and the region. Although the route is quite short, it is not shaded.

Enjoy a pleasant walk along the Rec de Cosprons and through the vineyards, passing by the vinegar factory.
