Review
of the guide
It
includes the description of the route GR 6 and of its variant
GR 6-1 from the Colònia Sedó to Collbató,
as well as the description of the route GR 96, another route
from Barcelona to Montserrat. In both cases there are some special
variants (3 and 4 respectively) that offer an alternative to
go by those routes by bicycle or horse.
Those
routes have been divided in sections that, theoretically, can
be made in one day (between 15 and 25 km), beginning and ending
in places where public transport is quite easy to find (train,
bus...) or by car. Each section is a card with a map (a piece
of a map from the ICC scale 1:50.000 with the route overprinted),
the description of the route (with distances in time and km)
and a profile of the grounds.
Before
the description there is an scheme map of the routes and a section
with interesting information for the walker: Walking in Catalonia,
the Xarxa de Senders de Catalunya, security in the mountain,
basic rules of behavior in nature, using the guide and marking.
The
section of general information includes a card of each village
by which the routes go by (interesting information, telephone
numbers, etc), some sections about sanctuaries and rivers, another
section that includes information about the Parc Natural Metropolità
de Collserola, another one about the mountain of Montserrat,
another one about the Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat and the
last one about the Funicular de Vallvidrera.
