Directions to start |
From the C12 in Tortosa take the T-341 west from Tortosa through Roquetes in the direction of Els Reguers and Alfara De Carles. 2 Km from Roquetes turn L at a junction onto the road signposted for Caro. Follow for 20km. Ignore the left turn which climbs up to Mt Caro and continue straight on to pass through the small development of houses known as Esquirol or el Mascar on some maps. Pass through a large car park, noting the Hotel/restaurant on the left and 1km further on find a clear junction where the main road doubles back on itself – this is the Coll de Carrasqueta. Bear left and after 250m find a small car park on the left where the walk begins. |
