What a wonderful holiday from start to finish. Everything worked smoothly, the rooms were great, the food was too and the breakfast at Hotel Grèvol was amazing and so was the deep tissue leg massage I booked after the longest walk!
This was a lovely holiday with good walking in an unspoilt part of Spain. I would have preferred more uphill walking to balance the downhill, and flies and horse flies can be a persistent nuisance on warm still days, but the scenery is really beautiful and even in August there were few other walkers. I liked the food, particularly at the Hotel Greval which puts the boat out at dinner and breakfast for foodies. A compass is worth bringing, because it can be hard to find cairns or markers ahead in the higher mountain sections when the cloud and rain come down.
This is the second time we go with Inntravel as we had very good experience the first time. Very responsive staff, professional documentation. The routes are not too difficult (in many cases there are options) and accommodation are generally of a good standard, allowing us to relax after the walk.

Specially enjoyed the final walk from Setcases to Mollo with fantastic views in all directions.
The final hike was spectacular. All the hikes were good although we did not enjoy spending a lot of the hike down to Setcases along a busy road.
All the hotels were excellent, our favorite being Grèvol. However, The best creme brûlée was at Els Caçadors.
We met another couple on the same itinerary whom we enjoyed spending time with.
Overall, we really enjoyed the holiday and thank Inntravel for its organisation. The walking went very well and the maps and tips were most helpful.
Great holiday but just a couple of errors in the notes. Maybe a further walk through required to update notes.
Every day of this holiday walking adventure was a delight. We loved the variety of routes and the challenges of finding our way using the very detailed route notes. The scenery and vistas were amazing! We loved the small villages that we walked through or stayed in. We were so impressed with how clean and well maintained the villages were. The villages in September were very quiet - with very few tourists. We loved taking this break from humanity. We would highly recommend buying a waterproof map holder that you can hang around your neck. We bought from Yumqua. You will find that you need to read the route directions continually and they need to be at the ready. Also, occassionally you need to refer to a compass. Make sure your compass has numbers on it - not all compasses do. We are already thinking about our next Inntravel experience.
All the walks had their glorious moments, but the walk from Setcases to Mollo was the best, with such a variety of landscapes and challenges. Our first glimpse of the breathtaking landscape spread below us at the Collada de Lliens was unforgettable, and so was walking to our hotel through the streets of Mollo in the late afternoon sunshine, delighted, just a little tired and looking forward to a well-earned ice-cold beer!
Lovely holiday, good accommodation and one or two particularly spectacular walks - especially the walk down from Nuria to Queralbs at Ribes and the high pastures of the Coma de L'Orri at Setcases - simply wonderful. As previously, all hotel and travel arrangements worked like clockwork.
