While many people choose to rent a car, there are much better ways to enjoy the sights and sounds of the region; taking a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catalunyacasas.com\/2016\/01\/26\/popular-barcelona-bike-routes\/\">bike ride in Catalonia<\/a>, for example, or perhaps even donning the walking boots and heading off on the hiking trails.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the best walking routes in Catalonia.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-100885\" src=\"https:\/\/catalunyacasas.kigobook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/914\/2018\/10\/shutterstock_154431248.jpg\" alt=\"shutterstock_154431248\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sant Jeroni Trail, Montserrat<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Taking just over one hour in total, this is an excellent hiking route for people of all ability levels. There\u2019s a sharp ascent up to the summit, but it\u2019s worth the effort for the breathtaking views over the Llobregat valley. If you\u2019re staying in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catalunyacasas.com\/\">Barcelona accommodation<\/a>, it\u2019s easy to get to the start of the trail; take a train to Montserrat-Aeri, and then the St. Joan funicular.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>GR92, Blanes &#8211; Lloret<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The GR92 long-distance walking route covers a whopping 362 miles between Portbou and Vilanova, but there\u2019s a very manageable and stunning coastal section for leisure hikers between Blanes and Lloret. At just over three miles one way, it\u2019s even good for kids, and it\u2019s a handy and convenient option for those with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catalunyacasas.com\/\">holiday rental in Costa Brava<\/a>. The beach at Lloret is stunning, so spend some time there if you can!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-100889\" src=\"https:\/\/catalunyacasas.kigobook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/914\/2018\/10\/2751311.jpg\" alt=\"2751311\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Footpath 1, Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you fancy heading a little bit inland, there\u2019s nowhere better than the Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park. There are more than 20 different trails in the park, but footpath 1 is arguably one of the best. A loop trail covering just over six miles, this path takes you to the Santa Margarida crater, which is much more lush and green than you may think. It\u2019s a tiring walk, but it will be a highlight of your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catalunyacasas.com\/\">vacation in Spain<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-indent: 20px;width: auto;padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px;text-align: center;font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif;color: #ffffff;background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px;cursor: pointer\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-indent: 20px;width: auto;padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px;text-align: center;font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif;color: #ffffff;background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px;cursor: pointer\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-indent: 20px;width: auto;padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px;text-align: center;font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif;color: #ffffff;background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px;cursor: pointer\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-indent: 20px;width: auto;padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px;text-align: center;font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif;color: #ffffff;background: #bd081c  no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px;cursor: pointer\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leaving your deluxe Catalonia villa rental might not be high on your list of things to do on holiday (especially&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[47,59,14,15,16,326,18,327,122,180,169,150,63,64,19,67,328,329,330,20,69,70,71,302,248,209,73,21,38,75,160,53,331,76,151,152,22,332,333,157,153,25,81,162,26,154,149],"class_list":["post-100884","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog","tag-barcelona","tag-barcelona-accommodation","tag-barcelona-holiday-rental","tag-barcelona-vacation-rental","tag-barcelona-villa","tag-catalonia-hiking","tag-catalunya-casas","tag-catalunya-hiking","tag-costa-brava-holiday-rental","tag-costa-brava-vacation-rental","tag-costa-brava-villa","tag-costa-dorada-holiday-rental","tag-costa-dorada-vacation-rental","tag-costa-dorada-villa","tag-family-villa-barcelona","tag-family-villa-spain","tag-hike","tag-hike-spain","tag-hiking","tag-holiday-in-barcelona","tag-holiday-in-spain","tag-holiday-spain","tag-houses-in-spain","tag-mountain","tag-mountains","tag-nature","tag-outdoors","tag-rent-house-barcelona","tag-rent-house-spain","tag-rent-villa-barcelona","tag-rent-villa-spain","tag-spain","tag-spain-hiking","tag-spain-holiday-rental","tag-vacation-rental-barcelona","tag-vacation-rental-in-barcelona","tag-vacation-villa-barcelona","tag-view","tag-views","tag-villa-in-spain","tag-villa-spain","tag-villa-with-pool-barcelona","tag-villa-with-pool-in-spain","tag-villa-with-pool-spain","tag-villa-with-private-pool-barcelona","tag-villas-in-barcelona","tag-villas-in-spain"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
