ASB Mediterranean Trail Hiking Series
April's hike is the fourth in our series following the GR-92 Mediterranean Trail. Stretching from France to Valencia, the GR-92 hugs the coastline covering a distance of 583 km in total. We've started our series in the south heading north and we'll hike as many segments of this marvelous long distance trail as are accessible by train. So far we've hiked 56 km! This hike picks up where we left off in March at Cambrils and brings us 14 km north to Vila-seca.
Join us Sunday!
Rain or shine we’ll be meeting at 8:55 am in front of El Fornet, Carrer d'Aragó, 284 where we’ll catch the train from Passeig de Gràcia to Cambrils (R16). We'll start our morning with a visit to the Vil·la Romana de la Llosa museum in Cambrils. Discovered in 1980, the La Villa Romana de la Llosa was was inhabited from the 1st cen BC until the 6th century AD. After the museum we hit the trail!
Our trail hugs the beaches along the coast until Salou, then turns inland toward Vila-seca and has very little elevation change, varying from paved roads to beaches, boardwalks and footpaths.
As usual, you will need to bring a packed lunch as we will be eating along the trail, but you might want to bring some extra cash because if we're lucky (fingers crossed!) there might be a chiringuito open where we plan to stop for lunch. Also, remember to bring a swimsuit if you want to jump in the water during the lunch break!
Though this trail is classified as easy, it is 14km long, so be sure you are ready to go the distance! Please read the full hike description and download the trail on Wikiloc so you can follow the trail on your phone/GPS device.
