This handy guidebook contains detailed route descriptions for the 840km long-distance GR11 route from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean in 46 day stages. Each stage ranges from 7 to 30km in length and covers 40,000m of ascent and descent. The route offers stunning mountain scenery from spectacular high peaks to glistening tarns and green valleys.
Walking the GR11 (La Senda) trek, as described in this guidebook, takes you through Spain's Pyrenees from the Atlantic at Iruns to the Mediterranean at Calaques, and is one of the world's great trekking routes. The Spanish Pyrenees present a wonderland to the holidaymaker, whether backpacker, botanist, canoeist, cyclist, entomologist, ornithologist, mountain biker, skier, walker or simply anyone with a love of mountain scenery. In recent years the mountain organisations and authorities in the administrative districts of Guipuzxoa, Navarra, Aragón, Andorra and Cataluña have got together with local villagers to arrange the waymarking of a coast to coast (Atlantic to Mediterranean) long-distance footpath through the Pyrenees on the Spanish side. Designated the Gran Recorrido 11, it mirrors the French counterpart, the GR10. This has opened up miles of waymarked footpaths and tracks in an ever-changing environment, often in remote and high area, to numerous enthusiastic walkers of many nationalities but those seeking solitude will also not be disappointed. The GR11 is now a truly high quality, high-level mountain trail, a combination of spectacular high peaks, glistening tarns, deep green valleys and expanses of wild beauty as yet unseen by many visitors in addition to a moderate climate and easy access. This fourth edition includes revised maps, tables and profiles, accommodation details and route descriptions and will meet the needs of walkers on both day trips and longer expeditions.

Paul Lucia explored the Pyrenees for many years and became an acknowledged expert on the region. 'Through the Spanish Pyrenees:GR11' was first published in 1996, the fruit of many happy research trips, and has been meticulously updated ever since. Paul passed away on 6th July 2007, a few weeks after visiting the Pyrenees for the last time.
