Wild Montserrat; El Bruc to Monistrol via Montgros and Portell de Migdia

Image
The greatest adventure to be had within an hour of BCN - Montserrat's wild south side along the PRC-78. HIKERS: PEZ K3 MIX TRANSPORT: Bus to El Bruc (company: Hispano Igualadina) leaving from Maria Cristina (~40 min).  Return from Monistrol de Montserrat with the FGC line R5. THE ROUTE: Leaving from El Bruc, we head over olive fields to the foot of the mountain, where we have a little sramble up. From there we pass by the enormous Cova de la Arcada and then on to the Torrent de les Grutes, with it's small equipped section (like a little ladder).

At around 11km, supposedly it manages to get less than 30% of the route on tarmac. It seemed like just the thing for a casual walk before we take a summer break. But remember - don't underestimate Montjuic... Meeting at around 1830 and with darkness falling by 2200, we should have had plenty of time to finish the walk (estimated at around 3h for a standard walker) and reward ourselves with a cold clara. The problem was we stopped for a drink a third into the walk, half the team dropped out and then the remainder finished well after dark at 2240. Surprisingly it seemed to actually take us the three hours. Don't underestimate Montjuic! HIKERS (dropouts are crossed out): * in retrospect, it ...
