Castell de Castells Circuit
This is a walk on good tracks and paths. It starts fairly steeply uphill but after that it meanders gently up to the head of the valley with great views down to Castells. Our route passes Font de la Retura before crossing the CV752 to reach an interesting ruin which is bound to cause discussion. Although at the top end of the ‘M’ grade after the initial climb it is easy and good going.

A powerfull start and then relax to the end.

Is there any reason why it couldn’t be done in reverse? It looks, possibly, easier?
None at all……….just use the gps track to find your way – and enjoy!!
We did the walk today. 27/11/2022. There is no sign to the campsite so we followed sign to castle & passed the campsite. We got to point C and turned right. There is a red & white cross here, but we continued. The path is a wide track and lead us to the main road. At the main road we turned right, then second left which bought us back onto the yellow & white route. Our Route was 14.5 km in 4 hours, with stops
…………..so not quite the walk that is written up then…………??
