Roc de les Creus from Conat

From Ria-Sirach, via the D26, park in the car park on Place du 8 Mai 1945, next to the town hall at the entrance to the village of Conat.

(S/E) Head towards the village and take the^first right down the hill, Rue du Moulin.
Just before the entrance to the property, turn left down the path alongside the house; on your left, look out for the ‘Llugols’ sign. Cross the footbridge over the El Callau and follow the steep path steadily uphill.

(1) At an altitude of 680 m, at the Teixoneres crossroads, turn left onto the path that climbs, following the ridge. The path is marked with cairns and has a few green markings. You will reach the Santa Marguerita de Nabille Chapel.

(2) Continue behind the chapel (heading north) along the ascending path that runs alongside the track.

(3) At an altitude of 900 m, go round the retention basin on the left and, immediately afterwards, follow a track
lower down which descends slightly, becomes a path, heads towards the ravine and then climbs again.
From there, there are no further markings or cairns, but the path is fairly well marked on the ground. It follows the
fence and the edge of the forest, about fifteen metres away.

(4) At an altitude of around 1,000 m, when the climb becomes less steep, look out for the few cairns and follow the path, which is less obvious and winds its way through the terrain. Follow the path that is clearest and least obstructed by vegetation,
moving a little further away from the forest edge.
At an altitude of around 1,090 metres, you’ll reach a flat area where the vegetation is less dense. You’ll come to a
fence; follow it to the left, where there is a passage marked with yellow barrier tape. Pass through it at this point
and follow the slightly ascending path, which leads to the track descending from the Roc de les Creus.

(5) Head down this wide, grassy track to the left. You’ll reach a ‘private property’ gate. The path
goes round it at the top, running alongside the fence. Then rejoin the path and follow it. Stay on the hillside for quite a while.

(6) At the large ruin (Arletes), below the path, just before the Riberot stream, the path ends. Descend to the left just after the ruin, following the cairns. Cross the stream and rejoin the path at this point. Climb slightly, then continue along the hillside.

(7) At an altitude of around 900 m, the path is then more clearly marked with cairns and features a few yellow markings.
You’ll reach Conat without any difficulty (S/E).

No water in the area.

The village of Conat is well worth a visit at the end of the walk, with its pretty cobbled streets.
