Girona, Els Angels and the medieval villages of Baix Empordà

On this circular route that runs through the westernmost part of the Gavarres massif, you ascend to the top of the mountain to visit the sanctuary of the Mare de Déu dels Àngels, where you can delight in the views that this beautiful place has in store for you. In addition, you have the opportunity to see medieval villages first-hand that will surely transport you back in time.

The route covers a total of about 53 kilometres and around 650 metres of positive gradient, presenting a considerable physical challenge. However, the effort invested is amply rewarded with an experience rich in landscapes and culture. Most of the journey takes place on quiet roads, easy to navigate and with little traffic. However, it is important to bear in mind that, during public holidays, the road to the sanctuary may be busier with vehicles. In addition, the route includes sections of compact dirt roads.

You can enjoy this route all year round, although it is important to bear in mind that in winter the mountain section can be cold and you may encounter fog, especially in the early hours of the morning. For this reason, we recommend that you bring a thermal layer and, perhaps, a raincoat.
