Sierra de la Xortà.
From the start we always follow the PR CV 151, with yellow-white markings, or signs to Les Arcs. We generally follow our path keeping to the right, first via an ascending concrete track, and then to the right along an easily accessible hiking trail. The hiking trail back and forth to Les Arcs is on the left side of the hiking trail and is clearly signposted. From this arch formation you have beautiful views all around, and in the distance you can see the border where the large forest fire raged in 2022. From here we return to the hiking trail and continue walking to the left. Turn right once more and then left to the main track, but from here you can already see the start/parking lot.
