Coronallacs stage 5

This is the least exciting day. Water is not as frequent as on other days but if you are well hydrated from the refuge you can easily get to the cafe to fill up after two hours.

The path starts off nicely climbing to a pass then turn to the left. It soon descends to cut through a ski resort. Note, you descend to the left of the peak in the middle of the fence, where there is a section that can be moved. After following dirt roads for a while and passing by lifts the path cuts down the hillside and then parallels the road below. After a short walk on the road there is a ski restaurant, which is open in summer. This appears around 2 hours after the start so a perfect opportunity for a coffee.

Now comes a small up and a pretty path through the trees. Unfortunately in summer it soon meets the mountain bike trails and becomes a shared path. Turning left at a saddle the path becomes a little messy where bikes have made large tracks. A short road section follows, then through the woods. Then to the village of Sispony. Leaving the village is a steep descent ending near a cemetery and then a horrible concrete roundabout. The path goes under this and follows the river. It is surprisingly nice given its position by the main road.

Upon reaching the town I went first to my hotel. You should continue a few hundred metres more, downhill past the shiny Caldea pyramid to the tourist office. A lovely buff awaits you.

Due to a massive rainstorm messing with my phone and GPS recording this final stage was recorded a year after the other stages on Wikiloc. The route is all nice in this version!!

Please note, I took my route from

The description there is in Spanish. My contribution, apart from making myself very tired, is to write in English.
