Some alpine hiking experience is required. While the trails are all manageable, they are a bit slippery in places due to loose scree. However, with hiking poles and proper hiking boots, the route is easily manageable. There are some sections through shady forest areas at the beginning, and further up, the trail opens up into the sun. Be sure to bring plenty of water. The summit offers fantastic panoramic views. A worthwhile hike for us. ...

I walked this route today It is a beautiful walk and the view of La Foradada is phenomenal. Up to this point it is relatively easy walking, after that a very tough descent begins with a lot of climbing over steep slopes and narrow paths If you have no (mountain) walking experience, are afraid of heights and/or are not 'trittsicher' I would not recommend this walk Good shoes are a must and walking sticks are recommended. Furthermore, I adjusted the route at the end; once on the dirt road (last part) I walked straight ahead At a certain point, in sight of the P, you can reach the other side via a path. It is very nice to walk, at the end

Quite a steep, steep and very broken path to ascend Molló, a small peak in this environment that enjoys exceptional views

It is an easy route from San Carles de la Ràpita, very entertaining and with a spectacular finish due to the wonderful views of the Ebro delta. When you arrive it is worth spending a long time contemplating the views and enjoying the surroundings and appreciating what we have. Regards!!!!!
