Where are We Going Exactly?
We do quite like each other, but we also wanted to have some alone time in some beautiful places. Our route can be broken into 8 roughly equal sections, 4 together and 4 apart. It dances through mountain valleys and over high passes, dips in and out of mountain towns and villages every few days, frequently passing refuges. We will be making use of the popular trails GR10 in France and GR11 in Spain as well as some self-designed link-ups and high mountain sections.

The long and short of it is that this is a loooong route through a truly gorgeous and unique range. We start with our toes in the Atlantic ocean in Hendaye, climb for a couple weeks to the high Pyrenees and then make our way back down to the Mediterranean to cool our acheing bodies in the warm waters of El Port de La Selva. Very romantic. Very simple. Or is it?
