Complete Serra de Seldetes Circuit (Tossal Aspre option)
A long undulating traverse across varied terrain, leads to the foot of the most easterly ridge on the northern flank, of Serra de Seldetes. The ridge offers rugged terrain with some scrambling and in places exposure, to gain the summit ridge of Seldetes. All its tops are then traversed, before turning north over the neglected summit of Tossal Aspre. Finally descending its northern slopes back to Gata.
Much of the route is pathless and rugged, the rest is almost all paths and tracks. There are two alternative routes included in the description.

The grade of this walk is MS/C/Scr, which means
MS – Moderately Strenuous: Up to 600 metres ascent and/or no more than 15 km in length with some rough going taken at a reasonable pace.
C – More than half the route on rough ground.
Scr – Scrambling: This implies the need for handholds to ascend steep rock pitches with a sense of exposure to vertigo and where a slip could lead to a serious accident.
