Route characteristics
Long distance trails (GR, more than 50 km) cross Europe and are marked in white and red. Short distance trails (PR, between 10 and 50 km), of local or regional area, are marked in white and yellow. Local trails (SL) are less than 10 km long and are marked in white* and green. (*This colour may change depending on the area).
To make the trip more pleasant, we recommend:
- To wear comfortable clothing, preferably breathable
- Flexible trousers, or at least avoid jeans type trousers.
- Sports shoes will suffice, but bear in mind that the mountain paths are very rocky and your feet can suffer.
- Everyone should carry a pan of water (1 or 2 litres) or some kind of hydrating liquid.
