6 car tours, 37 picnic suggestions, 18 short walks for motorists, 23 main walks. Today, people are increasingly aware that inland Spain is a fascinating country just waiting to be explored. And yet this knowledge is, in many cases, ultimately frustrating, since so little has been published - other than in very general guidebooks - on where to go for a quiet day's walking and wildlifing in and around the major holiday destinations of Barcelona and the Costa Brava. This book covers coastal and inland Costa Brava from the French border south to Barcelona - taking in the bird-rich coastal marshes of the Aiguamolls de l'Emporda, the dormant volcanoes of the Garrotxa, the subalpine heights of the Montseny, the extraordinary conglomerate pinnacles of Montserrat, and the Garraf Massif. The authors have been guiding wildlife tours here for decades.
