Stage 6 of the GR 92 long-distance path in Catalonia crosses the col on the right-hand side of the picture, then climbs the cliff beyond to arrive at Montgrí castle.

TheGR 92is part of the extensiveGR footpathnetwork of paths, tracks and trails inSpain.It will eventually run the length of theMediterraneancoast of Spain, fromPortbou,on the border withFrancetoTarifa,the most southerly point of Spain. In doing so it will pass through theautonomous communitiesofCatalonia,Valencia,MurciaandAndalusia.The sections in Catalunya and Murcia are complete and fully signposted, but work is still in progress on the sections in Valencia and Andalusia, and sources differ on the eventual length of the path.[1][2]
