The Gr11 Trail - The Spanish Pyrenees - La Senda

This comprehensive guidebook for the experienced mountain trekkers to the magnificent GR11 trail - known also as ‘La Senda’ (the Track) - which runs 820km through the Spanish Pyrenees, from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, and mirroring the GR10 route on the French side. This guide provides everything trekkers will need to take up the challenge - detailed route description, excellent photographs, lots of background information and unique custom-produced maps. This glorious traverse of the Pyrenees, on the Spanish side, is a serious challenge - passing over a succession of high alpine passes where boulderfields, scree slopes and occasional snowfields may need to be crossed - but it is now well waymarked and has regular opportunities to top up on food and drink, described
within the routes and in a detailed place-by-place appendix at the back. Also included are bad weather options - although the weather is often good along this route - detours to find accommodation at some points, and advice on accommodation, supplies, language and logistics, as well as a glossary including Aragon, Basque and Catalan words, to help you find your way. The guide is organized into 45 daily stages that catalogue the route from Cabo Higuer in the west to Cap de Creus on the shores of the Mediterranean. A comprehensive introduction covers important information for trekkers including details on Equipment, Maps, Mountain huts and rescue, Wild Camping, Way-marking and Navigation, a GR11 facilities list and a comparison between the GR10 and GR11 routes. There is also a
section on GR11 variants en route, allowing walkers to deviate from the set path at various points, as well as appendices on language and a summary of the entire route. Detailed route descriptions are accompanied by sketch diagrams mapping the route ahead in addition to colour photographs illustrating some of the highlights of this long-distance footpath.
