Picatxo (Cim La Sella) & el Miquelet (The camels Humps)
Woodland paths, tracks and quiet country lanes lead to and from the small wooded ridge with its distinctive ‘Camels humps’. Where tracks & paths some steep, with the odd scrambling move both up & down, lead via Penya Roja (summit optional) then over and around the two “Humps”, giving wide ranging views.
Note:- Some interesting scrambling is possible, on the flanks of Miquelet & Picatxo. But they are not included in this route, though the starting points are identified.

Helen & I did this on 07/02/21. With both the GPS route and the description it was quite easy to follow, but with only one or the other of them it might have been tricky in a couple of places. Thanks to Colin for writing it up.
