In this first video of the year, we explore the Ripollès Way, one of the many Ways of St. James that crosses Catalonia and that even some Catalans are unaware of.
We walk from Sant Quirze de Besora to Sabadell, passing through Manlleu, Vic, Tona, Centelles, Figaró, Granollers and other villages.
Unfortunately we were not able to film the Ripoll-Sant Quirze section.
As part of the video, we show 2 paths to get to Ripoll, the Coll d’Ares, which some consider the beginning of the Ripollès path and the Camí del Segre, which starts in Puigcerdà.
The official path ends in Palou, where it joins other paths in the Pyrenees and Cap de Creus in the direction of Sabadell, Terrassa, Montserrat, which we have already covered in another video.
We are not aware of there being hostels on this road, so you have to use hostels and hotels or do it in one stage.
We didn’t see any other walkers on all the days of the journey.
And one last tip for adventurers and weekend pilgrims: the section shown in this video is possible to get the recurring Rodalies season ticket since the last station in zone 6 is Sant Quirze and the path runs parallel to the R3 line. (We know that the subscription was not intended for non-work purposes, but we wanted to communicate the possibility).
