ASB Mediterranean Trail Hiking Series
March's hike is the thirteenth 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 222 km! This hike picks up where we left off in Baixador de Vallvidrera last month and brings us 16.5 km northeast to Montcada i Reixac.
Join us Sunday!
Rain or shine we’ll be meeting at 9:20 am in front of Tim Horton's, Via Augusta, 170 where we’ll catch the train to Baixador de Vallvidrera (S2). For the next few hikes on the Mediterranean Trail we'll be hiking in and out of residential areas as we make our way around the Barcelona metropolitan area through the beautiful parks that surround it.
From Baixador de Vallvidrera our trail follows farm and forest roads and foot paths through Collserola Park, passing by traditional masias as well as the 12th century church of Sant Iscle i Santa Victòria de les Feixes. We'll stop for lunch along the way at Casa Juaco. You can bring your own lunch, or buy something there.
Most of the hikes along the GR-92 have been very flat, but, like February's hike, this one has a bit of climbing with an overall increase in elevation of 500 meters and 700 meters of descent. Though this hike is short, 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.
