Itinerary description
Start at the parking "La Masieta" for a lovely hike through the gorge. The first part is an easy walk that gets you to a 40 m high suspension bridge located in the ravine of Sant Jaume. We realised how high we were when we finally were brave enough to look down!
Breath in the fresh air of the mountains and continue to the gorge's gorgeous entrance. Once there, the feeling of freedom and the views are indescribable. We recommend you stop in one of the benches for a picnic (we brought it from home when we went) and get some energy while looking at an impressive landscape.
After passing the gorge, the fun hasn't ended yet. The next part runs down a smoothly slope until the second suspension bridge (Sigué bridge) and... surprise! You're no longer in Catalonia; you're in the region of Aragon.
One of the most spectacular parts of the route comes after; two zigzag-shaped staircase systems built against the rock's face. We felt a bit dizzy with the panoramic views, but at the same time, we couldn't stop staring as we were astonished by the beauty of the landscape.
The end is close! Just a continued ascend until the Montfalcó shelter. There's a fountain in this section, which is great for refilling water bottles and keeping yourself hydrated. When we arrived at Montfalcó's shelter, we quickly grabbed a cold beer and enjoyed the flavour of satisfaction. Please do the same; you'll totally deserve it!
