Path of the natural parks

Starting and ending on the shores of the Mediterranean, the Sendero de los Parques Naturales (210 km), also known as Sendero de los Miradores, makes an arc towards the interior of the territory, always about 40-50 kilometers from Barcelona city, to crossing natural spaces protected from the Garraf, Montserrat, Sant Llorenc de Munt and the Obac, Montseny and Montnegre-Corredor.
It is equivalent to the GR-5 Long Distance Trail, and you can imagine that, due to the number of natural parks and mountainous areas that it crosses, the ups and downs are a constant, but also that the effort is worth it.
