It's this one -- from the edge of the city, I think the waymarks were already down.Do these tracks look like the new route? I know there are several options, but going through San Cugat seems like a no-brainer must-do!

There are still multiple options after Sant Cugat.Stage 3 looks different from my walk.
Exactly this.My reading of the article is that they have now way marked the route in the city of Barcelona.
FWIW I've walked once from Barcelona to Valldoreix (and back) -- but many times in childhood from Valldoreix to Sant Cugat, and a couple of times the other way.Do these tracks look like the new route? I know there are several options, but going through San Cugat seems like a no-brainer must-do!
I stayed in Les Fonts my first night. As there were no albergues before Monserrat when I walked, I was lucky enough to stay at the house of a pilgrim contact of Laurie who put me up for the night. The new albergue in Ullastrel opened up the day after I passed through.My reading of the article is that they have now way marked the route in the city of Barcelona. When I walked a couple of years ago, I only saw one way marking in Barcelona. the newly marked route does take you up to Horta which would lead to San Cugat.
The question most walkers will face is which path to take just before the rail station in Les Fonts. Do they decide to go through Ullastrell and Olesa de Montserrat using the albergue in Ullastrel, or through Terrassa using the albergue there. Having walked both, I much prefer the route through Terrassa
I'm curious which GR I ended up on as I I made a wrong turn somewhere during the climb. The 5 km up to Monserrat was tough, especially since I had already walked about 30 km. It is for sure tougher than any other climb I've made since, the Primitivo and San Salvador included.I think you then walk the GR96 up Montserrat which is steep but only a couple of hours!
Having lived in Vallcarca until very recently, I can't help but wonder if the new markings within Barcelona city had previously existed. Now and again on our walks through the city we would encounter obvious signs of a Camino route including a couple of those all-familiar Camino shells embedded in the sidewalks of Vallcarca. Interesting to note that the markings have now been expanded and that it has been officially recognised as part of the Camino.Yesterday, an official waymarked Camino trail was inaugurated in the city of Barcelona.
It starts at the old Port, Plaça del Portal de la Pau precisely, towards Vallcarca y Horta at the edge of the city, and so up towards the Sant Cugat del Vallès version of the Way up from Barcelona to Montserrat.
Thanks for your post. The unveiling also featured in La Vanguardia, a Barcelona based newspaper :Yesterday, an official waymarked Camino trail was inaugurated in the city of Barcelona.
