This was a really fun and beautiful trip. The drive to Queralbs is really pretty. We got lucky with good weather until we reached the top - it was snowing. I like snow, so it was a good thing. This is a really famous pilgrimage in Catalunya, so if you're into hiking and like the mountains, I'd highly recommend it. The hike itself is all uphill, so I would recommend the La Garrotxa hike instead if you are not in at least decent shape. Shoes with tread are a must so you don't slip. Ramon is awesome - he's very knowledgeable and kind.
