Itinerary description

English below

Aquesta ruta no ens ha entusiasmat.
Consisteix de dues parts molt diferents: La primera meitat, sobretot per pistes amples, és molt fàcil.
La segona part ens presenta amb la pujada al castell de Sant Miquel i immediatament amb la baixada per l'altra banda, que considero bastant exigents. Són la raó per la que he marcat aquesta ruta com a "difícil".
Si algú vol provar amb aquesta ruta, recomanaria fer-la a l'inrevés i anar primer al castell. Així es començaria amb energia per la part més exigent, i es podria "avortar missió" si calgués.
També hi ha un punt a mig camí on es pot escurçar la ruta, obviant la part del petit dolmen.
----
We didn't especially like this route.
It comprises two very different parts: The first half with wide dirt tracks is quite easy, the second half leads up to the castle ruins and immediately down again via steep paths that we found demanding. It's for this reason that I classified the walk as "difficult".
To someone who wants to try this hike, I would recommend to do it the other way round and to start with the castle. This way, the most difficult part could be tackled at the start with energy, and it's easier to turn back if the climb up to the castle turns out as too difficult.
There is also a point halfway through where the route can be shortened by omitting the loop of the dolmen.
