Ramat de Camins Soriguera

Ramat de Camins is a hiking trail that crosses the regions of Pallars Jussà, Pallars Sobirà, Val d'Aran, and Alta Ribagorça. It follows the footsteps of writers Camilo José Cela and Josep Maria Espinàs, who made a trek through these lands in 1956. The route follows traditional paths that connect more than 70 Pyrenean villages, offering a unique experience that combines nature, culture, and history.

a literary journey turned into a hiking trail

Each writer wrote an account of this trip: Journey to the Lleida Pyrenees (Destino, 1965) and Journey to the Lleida Pyrenees (Selecta, 1957), which Espinàs later revised and retitled On Foot through Pallars and the Vall d'Aran (Campana, 2000).

Fifty years later, the writer and hiker Núria Garcia Quera (Barcelona, 1965) made a more hiking version of that route and, later, wrote her own travel story. The result was the book Nuevo viaje al Pirineo (Sensus, 2012) and the birth of the Ramat de Camins route, a two-week trek that, just like the great classic routes of other mountain ranges around the world, runs along traditional rough paths and jumps from town to town, all crossing a mountain pass.

Ramat de Camins can be done in its entirety or in stages; on foot or running, alone or accompanied by a donkey, sleeping in hostels or in a tent. But however you choose, we'll try to ensure you enjoy its landscapes, cuisine, local traditions, and customs. We'll gradually suggest several tastings so you can choose the one that best suits your needs.
