Passet del Golero from Rincon de Pepe
Circular walk with fine varied scenery. Generally straightforward but with a few short steep & rough sections (there is an easier but longer alternative). The route goes over Contador, continues to & descends Passet del Golero, over Col de Basses to reach Casa La Carrasca, passing above the Buddhist colony to cross a col on Sanxet, then traversing beneath the cliffs of “Rooms of God”.

This is my favourite walk so far with the CBMW group. The views are simply stunning, looking forward to doing the walk again.
