Has anyone done the Camino Catalan?
I'm assuming the guidebook cover the Camino de Ebro, too
since it is part of the route.

Which branch of the Catalán are you interested in? There’s a lot of variation here. The Ebro is a different route than the Catalán, but the Lleida branch of the Catalán does merge with the Ebro before Zaragoza. If it were me, I’d walk the Huesca branch of the Catalán. I started in Llançà, walked to Montserrat, and then through Huesca and up to the Aragonés. It is a totally glorious route. I don’t know which parts of that route are covered in the guidebook you reference, though.Has anyone done the Camino Catalan?

250gms strikes me as heavy for a guidebook. All those colour photos and general information will weigh heavy in a pack after a few days. That said it might be a useful planning tool and you could always use a razor-blade to cut out all the faff.Has anyone done the Camino Catalan?

That clears up the question, thanks, @Tinca. Great map. It shows that the book covers the Ebro, at least from Tortosa to Logroño. I think most people who walk the Ebro start either in Sant Carlos de la Rapita, Deltebre, or Riumar. That’s about 24 km before Tortosa, on the coast.with a map of the routes covered.
My sentiments exactly! LT and I walked from Montserrat in early June and we crossed many vast brown agricultural expanses. I think it would be gorgeous in springtime! The part up to Montserrat was much more forested and green, but once we headed out from Montserrat, it got brown. Dreary is a good word to describe it.The Catalan in spring could be gorgeous as there were many orchards and the fields would be in shades of green instead of brown.
Hi, I haven't done any of the Catalan Caminos yet but bought this guidebook to do my route planning. Has all the legs of all the various options (which removed all the naming confusion) and weighs no more than any other guidebook. I've found it invaluable along with the various links on here especially the blog of Lauri and LT.Has anyone done the Camino Catalan?

And:Here you go...
Truly it is one of the most beautiful caminos I have walked. The monastery of San Pere de Rodas high on a hill overlooking the mediterranean is right at the start. The catalán countryside is gorgeous and there are numerous romanesque churches sprinkled throughout. And though Vic is smaller than Girona, it is also a great place for a visit, with a top notch ancient art museum.A Camino that takes in both Girona and Montserrat
It looks like a superb walk.Turism Ofice of Galicia and Catalunya present the Camí de Sant Jaume guide, isawatman told about it, and place a new mark wiht the arrow and the scalop.
Just personally -- in hindsight, what I should have done last year was walk the Catalàn as far as Fraga (re-started from Lleida last year), then DIY south from there (to avoid the very empty ultra-meseta stretch from Fraga) to Mequinenza, then either tarmac or Natural del Ebro to Caspe, and join the Camino del Ebro there -- though I might personally have gone tarmac + farmers' roads Mequinenza > Faión > Nonaspe > Fabara > Caspe (reaching the Camino del Ebro proper at Fabara) to avoid the very lengthy direct Mequinenza > Caspe stage.Has anyone done the Camino Catalan?

A pity. That's only one historic route.the part of the Catalan Way between the French border and Montserrat, Catalonia is now promoting the route after Girona leading through Sils and Sant Celoni, and eventually Sant Cugat and Terrassa.

Reviving an old thread it seems but I’m planning my Camino Catalán now leaving in 5-6 weeks or so. I’ve got your book in hand now @callum69. It’s been invaluable in my planning. I also watched a series of videos by a pilgrim from Germany who used a German guide book that was essentially the same as your until near Monasterio San Juan de La Peña.Hola!
Yep the guide book covers a variety of routes all starting in Catalunya. The Ebro route is included with a start at the cathedral of Tortosa. A Barcelona start as well as another on the French border are also in the book.
Buen Camino!
