Famorca Loop – Sierra de Serrella
The walk starts at the delightful village of Famorca. After a short distance on tracks we pick up a good path which climbs slowly up to the top of the north ridge of the impressive Malla del Llop canal. From here we walk a short way towards the Penya del Castellet before starting to descend on a zig zagging track towards Castell de Castells. After walking a couple of kilometers along this pleasant track we pick up a path which leads us back up and through some impressive rock formations to the lovely cool spot of the Font de l’Olvis. Our descent continues passing some interesting caves before arriving back at Famorca.
