The Pyrenees of Catalonia are arguably one of Spain’s best-kept secrets. The blissfully crowd-free region, at the country’s far north-eastern corner, stretches 250km across Catalonia from the Val d’Aran to the Mediterranean Sea, and sets the benchmark for sustainable, low-impact tourism. Its diverse protected natural areas span mountain peaks that reach 3,000 metres high, volcanic landscapes, wetlands and forests – all linked by more than 9,000km of peaceful trails, ready for hiking.
