Even so, the locations are spectacular and the views wonderful. First, we will ascend to the village of Siurana located at 706m. Afterwards we will go down to the Siurana river and follow it upstream through the refreshing Gorges, and arriving at the abandoned village of Gallicant. We will pass through the old military base of Castillejos, also abandoned. Hiking along the Mas d’en Rei trail to the foot of the Mussara Ridge gives us time to ease the legs before facing the last climb to the abandoned village, just a short distance from the albergue.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.1″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n STAGE 2:<\/strong> La Mussara \u2013 Mont-ral<\/strong><\/p>\n Distance: 20km (12.4 miles)<\/span> This stage takes us through the forested zones of our mountains, passing springs and streams. Once wide awake we will start the descent from Mussara through Les Tosques. Wandering along small footpaths and arriving at Font Major and l\u2019Albiol. Once we pass through these two key points of the route, we will follow two valleys, that of the Albiol river on the way down and that of the Glorieta river on the way up. Along this ascent we will come across the Niu de l’Aliga before arriving at the albergue of Mont-Ral.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_padding=”46px|0px|27px|0px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.1″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n STAGE 3: Mont-ral \u2013 Prades<\/strong><\/p>\n Distance: 22km (13.7 miles) Located in the northern part of \u200b\u200bthe region, here is where we will discover the highest areas. From Mont-ral we will go up the Foradada until we find the Pont de Goi bridge. Now we will go down the Font de la Ll\u00fadriga to the village of Capafonts, a point located half way through the third stage. From here, we will climb the winding paths through the enchanted forests to the hermitage of the Abellera and continue the ascent to the Tossal de la Baltasana, located at 1023m. Once captivated by the fantastic views, we will descend towards Prades, where a few minutes from the centre we find the Albergue at Camping Prades Park.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.1″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n STAGE 4:<\/strong> P<\/span><\/strong><\/span>rades \u2013 Cornudella de Montsant.<\/strong><\/p>\n Distance: 20km (12.4 miles)<\/span> The last of the stages is the most westerly. We will cross the Serra de Montsant Natural Park. The footpath goes up to Pla de la guardia, where we will once again enjoy spectacular views. On a flatter path we will reach the Grau d’en Saura, from where we will continue until we reach the Mas d’En Lluc and then ascend the valley to the small village of Albarca. When we leave the village behind, we begin the final stretch, following the historic Cam\u00ed dels Cartoixans, from Sant Joan Petit until we reach LoRefugi, the end point of the Ruta dels Refugi.
