Since we wanted to avoid hiking into the mountains with heavy rain and cold temperatures as the previous day, we planned an alternative route together with fellow hikers staying at Tossals Verds.

The path was easier than the official stage and remained within the forests at lower altitudes.

It followed the Canaleta de Massanella for a while, an aqueduct running above some scenic stone arches on a cliff.

We really enjoyed this “social“ day, as all the hikers formed small groups to share this stage… it was nice to chitchat and get to know each other while hiking in the forest.

At the end of the stage, we had a lovely dinner at the restaurant of the Santuari, sharing wine and collecting special memories with our new trail friends.
