Nature itineraries: The Stone Trail

This itinerary runs through a district known as Les Pedreres (the quarries), in the east of the city, beside the Old Town. The name evokes the origin of the district and its function in the history of Girona.

Crossing the lovely Sant Daniel Valley, following the course of the Galligants River and its tributaries, passing through a landscape dotted with woods and small farms, you'll enter the protected natural area of the Gavarres to climb the Sant Miquel mount, from where you'll enjoy magnificent panoramic views of much of the Girona region, from the Empordà to the Pyrenees. At the high part of the trail, you can choose between the two alternatives we offer: the Cal Micaló alternative enables you examine many remains of constructions built using the traditional dry stone technique, while the Collet d'en Figueres option offers an alternative to the main route, passing by the remains of the old, recently-restored Cal Mistaire spring, among other sites.
