Through the Spanish Pyrenees Gr11: A Long Distance Footpath
by Paul Lucia

From the Cicerone Guides series.

Walking in the Pyrenees continues to increase in popularity, often as an alternative to the well-known areas of the Alps. A combination of spectacular high peaks, glistening tarns, deep green valleys and expanses of wild beauty as yet unseen by many visitors make the range an excellent choice for the adventurous walker - in addition to a moderate climate and easy access. The GR11 is now a truly high quality, high-level mountain trail on tracks and footpaths, affectionately known as 'La Senda' (The Track). It crosses the Pyrenees from coast to coast on the Spanish side of the border with France (mirroring the French counterpart, GR10).

Paul Lucia has been exploring the Pyrenees for many years. He has extensively updated this second edition of the GR11 guide with revised maps, tables and profiles, accommodation details and route descriptions.

The Spanish Pyrenees present a wonderland to the holidaymaker, whether backpacker, botanist, canoeist, cyclist, entomologist, mountain biker, skier, walker, or simply anyone with a love of mountain scenery, and the chance to enjoy it with much less rain than is usual. This guide will address the needs of walkers either on day trips or on longer expeditions. In recent years the mountain organisations and authorities in the administrative districts of Guipuzxoa, Navarra, Aragón, Andorra and Cataluña have got together with local villagers to arrange the waymarking of a coast to coast (Atlantic to Mediterranean) long distance footpath designated the Gran Recorrido 11, GR11 for short, to mirror the French counterpart GR10. This has opened up miles of waymarked footpaths and tracks in an ever-changing environment, often in remote and high area, to numerous enthusiastic walkers of many nationalities, though the vastness swallows them up so that those seeking solitude will also not be disappointed.
