Before starting my walk, … Continue reading Citizenship Break
Arboli to Tarragona
After camping just outside Arboli, I got an early start to tackle the long day out of the mountains and into Reus. The trail was very rocky to start off with, but it was good trail with good waymarking. It leved off before eventually dropping into a sharp canyon, which was very beautiful. There were … Continue reading Arboli to Tarragona

Leaving Chelva, I stopped at the pharmacy to get another roll of tape for my feet, which were still feeling awful. I sat on a park bench and taped my feet before heading off. The dirt roads cut through olive and almond orchards before entering the hills. The GR7 then had a short trail stint … Continue reading Chelva to Montanejos
