Best Hidden Trails in Catalonia

Pilgrim paths, hermitages and mountain springs above the Mediterranean.

Most travelers stop at Montserrat's monastery. The trails that climb behind it — and the dozens of stone hermitages scattered across the Pyrenees foothills — are where Catalonia opens up. Bring water and a quiet pair of shoes.

#1

Camí dels Degotalls

Hidden Trail

Level path circling the back of Montserrat. Carved stone reliefs, almost no crowds.

#2

Sant Jeroni hermitage ruins

Ruin

Roofless monastic cell at Montserrat's highest point. Wind, silence, the whole valley below.

#3

Font de la Salut

Spring

Cold mountain spring above Sant Feliu de Pallerols. Locals fill bottles here on Sundays.

#4

Camí de Sant Jaume (Catalan stretch)

Pilgrimage

Quieter eastern branch of the Camino. Olive groves, Romanesque chapels, no queues.

#5

Salt de Sallent

Viewpoint

Hundred-metre waterfall in the Garrotxa volcanic park. Loudest after spring rain.
