Mountain Walking in Southern Catalunya (eBook)

In 2002 Philip and Vivien Freakley moved to the French Pyrenees to indulge a lifelong passion for mountains. They discovered Southern Catalunya during an escape from a cold Pyrenean winter and have spent the subsequent five winters exploring, translating Catalan descriptions and knitting together apparently unrelated scraps of footpath for this, their first Cicerone guidebook.
