[QUOTE="peregrina2000, post: 339473, member: 537"] Day 6 -- Sant Feliu - L'Esquirol (33) GPS tracks [URL='http://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/spatialArtifacts.do?event=setCurrentSpatialArtifact&id=10903644'][U][I][B]here[/B][/I][/U][/URL] This is one of these days that pictures just can't capture, at least not my pictures. It was an absolutely gorgeous day, and it left me just bursting with gratitude and amazement. I was dragging a bit because of the long previous day, so I just decided to take it slow. The first 9 kms are on the Carrilet, but at Sant Esteve, the Cami St. Jaume turns off and heads to Els Hostalets d'en Bas, one of several very pretty, highly restored, and obviously affluent places. [ATTACH=full]20774[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]20772[/ATTACH] After the road seems to end, there's a turnoff, and then the ascent on the Camí Real began. After the first ascent, there is a glorious view over the green valleys below, with plenty of good spots for sitting and gazing. [ATTACH=full]20778[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]20771[/ATTACH] Then some more ascending until you are at the base of some of the escarpments you've seen from afar. [ATTACH=full]20775[/ATTACH] And from there, you descend on nice paths into the pretty little town of Cantonigrós (pretty and touristy). Before actually entering the town, there is a bar/restaurante with outdoor seating that provides unobstructed views to the hills you've just come out of. It's marvelous. I had a very long rest here and spoke with several people who were interested to know what I was doing. Seems they see a fair amount of cyclists who are taking long trips through the area, but not many long distance walkers. [ATTACH=full]20777[/ATTACH] The Camí then takes you through the center of the village, and then on to a punishing rocky descent that lasts for about 3 kms, but finally takes you into the town of L'Esquirol. The town's name is catalán for squirrel, and during the Franco years they changed their name to Santa María de Corcó, so you may still find some confusion in the names. I stayed at the only game in town, the Hostal Collsacabra, and got a very good price on booking.com. 25 €, which was 10-15 below what others paid there that night. It was perfectly adequate, nothing fancy or special. I arrived in L'Esquirol around 2:30 and was soon in my hostal. No sooner had I entered my room and raised the shade of the door leading to my little balcony than the heavens opened and a long hard rain came down. By the time I was done showering and washing clothes, the restaurants in town had stopped serving lunch, so I went to the grocery store on the main drag into town and bought food for a meal. Luckily, this little store doesn't close for siesta, so you will have food available no matter when you arrive. The town itself is not very pretty but the people were friendly and there are plenty of services -- ATMs, shops, cafés, etc. Buen camino, Laurie [/QUOTE]
