Great walk thank you. We had to park at the Area Recreativo Mundana (21/05/22) as there was a barrier across the road to Coco de Jordi. The road walk to the trailhead was easy, but it adds 4km and 120m ascent to the walk.
Thanks for the ‘headsup; Vicki – as you point out, it makes a difference to the size of the walk and it’s good to know that in advance. This route has become more and more popular (rightly so!) and the approach road to the Coco de Jordi is very narrow with few opportunities for cars to pass. I guess that’s why they’ve changed the parking arrangements.
