The delights of Spain's Catalunya region are revealed in this new walking guide, which covers 32 graded walks of 6.5 to 28km across Montseny, Sant Llorenc del Munt I l-Obac, Montserrat and Penedes and Garraf - all within easy access of Barcelona. Walks are included for all abilities, from easy strolls to more demanding walks, and some of the walks are accessible by public transport.

The guide provides detailed route descriptions, 1:40,000 mapping and a route summary table to help with choosing appropriate walks. All the walks are illustrated with stunning photos. A list of local campsites and other useful contacts is included at the back, plus notes on refreshment opportunities along the routes. There's also background information on local geology, wildlife and history, and planning details on when to go, where to stay and what to take.

While the bustling city of Barcelona has always been a popular tourist destination, only an hour away the landscape is altogether different. From lush mountains to jagged peaks, famous vineyards to magnificent views, each natural park has a different landscape and walking is the best way to explore the region.
