GR11 Day 52- Foxes & Closed Grocery Stores


Day 52 of my thru-hike across the Spanish Pyrenees!

I woke up next to Rio Aragon Subordan (across Refugio de la Mina, which is abandoned), hiked up Chipeta Alto (a nice and easy peak just off the GR11), then hiked to Camping Zuriza.

There are some things you should know about Zuriza:
1. Several hikers reported foxes breaking into their tents and stealing their food here and near other campgrounds in this area.

  1. The supermarket here is closed for good! There is an expensive restaurant only (and a very nice staff member who gave me a free chocolatey baked bread thingy- thank you to that guy!! 😁 ). You should plan on buying groceries in Isaba, where there is a bigger shop which is open until 9PM in summer.


📷 Hoy ha amanecido el día gris y lluvioso. Siendo de secano (aquí en València hace sol 350 días al año 😂) lo cierto es que me gustan estos días.

En la foto, la zona de Ordino Arcalís (Andorra, verano de 2011), camino del estanque de Tristaina, si no recuerdo mal. Fuimos varios veranos de vacaciones, y es que el Pirineo andorrano está lleno de rutas interesantes 😻

Buenos días, pese al mal tiempo 🖖🏼

GR11 Day 38-39. Preparing for the Storm


Day 38-39 of my thru-hike across the Pyrenees Mountains!

Here I walked from Parzán, past Chisagüés, and found a safe camping spot below the next set of high mountains. Then I took a rest day, waiting out the thunderstorm.

Glaciers are receding all over the world, at a rate of three Olympic swimming pools per second.

The Alps and Pyrénées are among the hardest-hit areas, having shed around 40% of their mass in 20 years, according to a study published in Nature on Wednesday.

Somewhere in the #Pyrenees, mid-1998, during our cycling trip. This was pretty much the last time I shot photos on slide film. For once, I didn’t add the grain - on the contrary, I even reduced it a bit.

The following year, I bought my first digital camera, a Nikon Coolpix 950, boasting an incredible 2 megapixels. But hey, we all know it’s not about the megapixels, right?

This black-and-white photograph captures a rugged mountain landscape enveloped in mist. The slopes of the mountain stretch diagonally across the frame, with a winding path leading up toward the peak. The mist obscures the background, softening the contours of the distant ridges. The image has a grainy texture. A white border frames the photograph.


Changement climatique : les Alpes et les Pyrénées ont perdu 40% de leur masse glacière en moins de 25 ans

Une étude internationale publiée ce mercredi révèle que 273 milliards de tonnes de glace disparaissent tous les ans, soit l'équivalent de trois piscines olympiques par seconde. Les chaînes de montagne les plus touchées dans le monde sont les Alpes et les Pyrénées

GR11 Day 37- Berries and Beautiful Camping


Day 37 of my thru-hike across the Pyrenees Mountains!
I spent half the day picking berries in the forest near Refugio de Viados, then I followed the GR11 trail toward a town called Parzan, stopping on the way to camp in a beautiful spot by Embalse de Urdiceto.

GR11 Day 34- COWS!


Day 34 of my thru-hike across the Pyrenees!

I started the day at Cabana de Quillon, got food from a campground shop, then saved myself from the rain at Cabana de Santa Ana. Then all the cows in the world came onto the GR11. I don’t know what was going on there but it smelled really bad!
I found camping a bit off the GR11 next to Barranco de la Aigueta (near Ibonet de Batisielles).

GR11 Day 35 - Poison Berries!


Day 35 of my thru-hike across the Pyrenees Mountains!

Here I took the GR11.2 variant up to Collado de la Plana (2,703m), down to Ibon de Eriste, then to a beautiful waterfall. (All in Spain 😀).

GR11 Day 22: Baiau Refuge


Day 22 of my thru-hike across the Pyrenees Mountains!
Here I walked from Andorra to Spain and stayed in Refugi Baiau “Josep Maria Montfort”- an awesome free refuge (mountain hut/ shelter) by a gorgeous mountain lake.


Day 21-22 GR11.1 Variant


I went off the main GR11 trail (onto the GR11.1 variant) to save myself from walking/camping in the rain. I slept in Refuge Pla de l'Estany (a free mountain hut), then walked to Estany Forcat (a beautiful mountain lake) in the Pyrenees Mountains on the border of Spain and Andorra.


GR11 Day 16-18: Blisters and Horses!


Yes, somewhere around here I had to raise my daily budget from 3 euros to 5. There was just no way I could get up those mountains without donuts and chorizo! 😁

My blisters were also killing me! And many horses wanted to eat my food! 😁

Here I walked from Puigcerdà, took a rest at Molleres de la Feixa, then walked to the Folch i Girona refuge, the Minyons lakes, and camped by Riu d'Engaït. (Pyrenees, Spain).


GR11 Day 12-13- Made it to the Mountains!


I made it to the first set of high mountains going east to west across the Pyrenees! Here I walked from Setcases to Queralbs, passing by the Ulldeter Refuge, Pic de Tirapits, and Nuria (Spain).


GR11 Day 25-27: Tavascan to Lake Maurici


Here I walked from Tavascan to Lake Maurici, passing by a few small villages and finding camping wherever possible. I also learned a lesson here: never put your bag on the ground in these small villages- as there are plenty of dogs there!

Day 23-24: HRP and La Porta del Cel hike


Here I walked from the Baiau Refuge, turned off of the GR11 to trek the HRP (Haute Route Pyrenees) and slept in Refugi de Baborte (also called Refugi del Cinquantenari). Then I took another variation and followed a trail called “La Porta del Cel” to get back to the GR11 at a little village called Tavascan.

A day well spent! 😄


GR11 thru-hike, Day 50-51- Getting Hot!


Days 50-51 of my thru-hike across the Pyrenees Mountains in Spain!

I started the day walking up some ski pistes west of Candanchú, then walked up and down some dry mountains taking a variation of the GR11 towards Refugio de Lizara. On my 50th night, I camped at Humedal de Plana Mistresa. Then on day 51 I walked past Ibon de Estanes (a beautiful lake), then down to Rio Aragon Subordan and camped across Refugio de la Mina (which was abandoned).

The days are getting hotter and hotter but I’m getting closer to my final destination- the Atlantic Ocean! 😄
