I said
goodbye to the N260 at Ripoll, although I caught a Daliesque glimpse of it in
the centre of Figueres and headed off in the opposite direction from my home to
the north-west by going south-east to bag Turo de l’Home in Macizo del Montseny/Montseny
Nature Parque. It may be only 1706m high, however it is P1125 and number 19 in
the JMH Iberian prominence list, so had to be done and, hence justified the odd
way of setting off home.
There are
various routes to the top – a popular one starts from Font de Passavets (1230m)
N41.77979 E2.45234. However I did the lazy thing of driving up to the carpark
under Puig Sesolles at (1495m) N41.77133 E2.44065 and walking the final
kilometre up the barricaded paved road to the summit with a raised trigpoint
N41.77649 E2.43484. |
To make up
for my laziness I semi-jogged to and from the alternative and more interesting summit
of Les Agudes N41.78938 E2.44393 – which
in some lists is given the same height, in others it is a metre or two lower. |

The views
were good enough.
6.75km 495m
total ascent
Overnight at
Col de Pou, Le Perthus, France ( 1051m)
