We are a travel agency specialized in guided and self guided walking and cycling holidays.
The Catalan Pyrenees are spectacular and unspoilt, a vast mountain range where the stone houses of the mountain villages are nestled around Romanesque churches and against the mountain edges. It is a beautiful walking area, which benefits from the warmest climate in the whole Pyrenees chain, and where hikers enjoy the beautiful walks, the welcoming accommodation and unspoilt nature. Walking along ancient paths, you can easily spot golden eagles and griffon vultures that circle in the endless blue sky.
