​A full-day escape into the quiet side of the Pyrenees — far from tourist paths. Together with Michela from Infini, we’ll follow a circular route through the Bastareny Valley, climbing a limestone canyon and crossing the scenic Cap de la Boixassa trail.

​A bonus for those who want to enjoy some quiet at the end of the week — the itinerary includes a meditation session and a walk focused on listening to the sounds of nature.

​What to expect:

​We have an early start ahead! But there will be a chance to catch up on sleep during the ride from Barcelona to the starting point. We'll travel by minivan from Barcelona, with a coffee stop in the town of Cercs.

​At 10:00 AM, we'll begin our hike in the Bastareny Valley. Around midday, we'll take a break at the Sant Jordi mountain refuge. We'll enjoy the peaceful surroundings and even take off our shoes to walk barefoot on the grass. We'll return to the bus via the Cap de la Boixassa trail and head back to Barcelona.

​Route details:
