Thanks for the information...timely as I was contemplating this very thing...Where is Mundet and is this just outside Barcelona? Do you perhaps start here to avoid some city pave industrial walking?Martorell looks a lovely town--are there pilgrim's refugios here and on this way?
And in your experience is it a way taken by pilgrims (to SDC) or those wanting to go specifically to Montserrat? Thanks again.
Thank you. This looks like it will be a big help to me (once it is off my smartphone and translated). I'm planning a mid-October to mid-November camino from the beach at Barceloneta to the one in San Sebastián.
Awesome, Rick! I remember you saying you had some plans to walk from Barcelona. I know we will be in that city at the same time...I will be thinking of you and your big adventure while I "cruise" on by. It takes only four weeks to walk all that way...are you walking alone?Thank you. This looks like it will be a big help to me (once it is off my smartphone and translated).

Thanks for this. Peg and I and a friend will have about a week in Barcelona and a week elsewhere. This will help determine the elsewhere.Yes a map is a map but your right there's not much info in English but try the website of the Catalan Regional Government..see https://web.gencat.cat/en/temes/turisme/
6 plus a GR. The goal as determined so far is caminos Barcelona, Catalon (San Juan de la Pena variant), transport to Somport, Aragonese, one day CF in reverse to Pamplona, two days Baztan in reverse to Elizondo, one or two days on the GR11 to Irun and then the Norte to San Sebastián. Followed by transport back to Barcelona to catch my flight home. When/if I get to Pamplona I reevaluate the remaining portion of the trip.That sounds like a cunning plan..5 different Caminos Catalan, Aragon, Arles Way, Northern Way & French Way ?
Four weeks is about right. I've estimated a distance of 420 miles (675 km) and at the "standard average" of 15 miles per day (25 km) it comes to 28 days.It takes only four weeks to walk all that way...are you walking alone?
Wow, Rick, this is quite impressive with "changing it up" so much as you go! I will be following you with interest...especially as you are one of my special "Not serious" buddies. Best of luck to you!Thanks for this. Peg and I and a friend will have about a week in Barcelona and a week elsewhere. This will help determine the elsewhere.

No Peg this time. She thinks some of the daily distances are too long for her. There aren't as many places to stay and, in November, even less. I'm not expecting to see many pilgrims either.
What about Girona (to Montserrat or Barcelona), Catalan (to Pina de Ebro), Ebro (to Gallur), Castellano Aragones (to Sto.Domingo de Silos), Lana (to Burgos), Frances (to Ponferrada), Invierno (to A Laxe), Sanabres - 8 Caminos...

Mundet is the name of a Metro station still within Barcelona, but on the outer edge. By taking the metro there from the city's centre you would miss about 1 1/2 to 2 hours of urban walking (not industrial). The Camino continues from Montserrat and it is indeed possible to continue walking to Santiago by eventually joining the Frances route. Elsewhere, on the forum, if you look in the Catalan Camino sub-forum you will see my review of this route.Thanks for the information...timely as I was contemplating this very thing...Where is Mundet and is this just outside Barcelona?

It's this thread, right?The Camino continues from Montserrat and it is indeed possible to continue walking to Santiago by eventually joining the Frances route. Elsewhere, on the forum, if you look in the Catalan Camino sub-forum you will see my review of this route.
Yes, indeed, that is correct.
What about Girona (to Montserrat or Barcelona), Catalan (to Pina de Ebro), Ebro (to Gallur), Castellano Aragones (to Sto.Domingo de Silos), Lana (to Burgos), Frances (to Ponferrada), Invierno (to A Laxe), Sanabres - 8 Caminos
Or even more (10) if you walk from Astorga in reverse to Zamora on VdlP, pick up the VdlP Portugues (to Verin), veer off to Portugal Interior (to Laza) and then Sanabres. That surely is a COMBO
Definitely something I want to do someday after I'll walk each of them separately.
