Where to go walking in Catalonia

You can rely on Inntravel to have found the best walking Catalonia (Catalunya) has to offer. Walking holidays on the Costa Brava and in Empordà promise a combination of medieval villages, Surrealist art and time by the sea, while the Garrotxa offers scenery of wooded volcanoes and ancient stone settlements. For high-mountain scenery, make a beeline for the Pyrenees.
