GR11 La Senda Transpirenaica
Day by day from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, across the Pyrenees.
From the salt spray of the Atlantic to the shimmering turquoise of the Mediterranean, the GR11 La Senda Transpirenaica is more than just a trail; it is an 800 km odyssey through the rugged heart of the Pyrenees. This journey is a relentless crossing of high mountain passes, ancient glacial valleys, and the wild, windswept borders of Spain, France, and Andorra.

Day 26: Mas Els Pils to el Port de la Selva
A shorter day today, getting to the commercial campsite closest to the end of the GR11 so tomorrow can be a short and enjoyable final day. It was a below-average day in terms of scenery, although I did get some close-up sea views.

Day 27: el Port de la Selva to Cap de Creus (The End)
With the heat, campsite lights that stayed on all night and kids running around screaming, I didn't get to sleep until 11pm. At 3am a large group returned making plenty of noise, so I took the opportunity to eat something as I was hungry anyway.
