Catalonia. 50 unforgettable rambles

Jordi Longás Mayayo

Catalonia is a land of rambling and ramblers. The fact is that for a long time the country’s complex land relief has invited its progressive exploration and study. From the fertility of the Ebro delta to the Pyrenean deserts of stone and snow; from the beech and holm oak woods of Montseny to the steppes of Segriá, we will find a great variety of habitats and ecosystems. Also places of great beauty, where stone, water and vegetation harmonise in unique landscapes. Walk and discover. Contemplate. Take photographs to admire and share. That’s the philosophy of this book. An invitation to go for easy rambles throughout the region, with your camera in your rucksack, to love the country and to preserve our natural heritage in the way it deserves.
