Pocket-sized and in full colour, this guide describes 12 car tours covering the entire range in France Spain and Andorra; all highlight places where you can stop for a walk or just a stroll to a lovely picnic setting. There are accompanying fold-out touring maps. There are well over 400 kilometres (250 miles) of walks described in this guide, the equivalent of a coast-to-coast traverse one of the 'classics' for all serious walkers.
But you don't have to be an expert walker for any of these hikes. None of them requires special skills (under summer conditions) and, if you are not very fit, simply turn back when you feel like it (there are short walk suggestions with most of the itineraries). Experienced and fit walkers will nevertheless find much to enjoy, for the authors have included some of the wildest scenery in the Pyrenees, walked pilgrim routes and World War 2 escape routes, climbed to summits (like Canigou), enjoyed the habitat of marmots, vultures and lizards (the Pyrenean chamois), and not neglected the great and the famous (like the Breche de Roland).
