Description

Join me on this challenging day hike and I will take you Castell de l’Airosa, a spectacular rocky mountain in the eastern side of the Ports de Tortosa-Beseit, in Catalonia.

The Castell de l’Airosa lies within the Parc Natural dels Ports, a Spanish natural park located south of the Province of Tarragona, aimed to protect part of the mass of the Ports of Tortosa-Beseit.

We will meet in Tortosa and I will take you to the hike starting point. It will be a 45′ ride. From the La Vall ravine, we will climb to the top of the Airosa, which as its name suggests (airosa: graceful), appears in a slender and elegant way. This hike requires an effort and we will have to climb to get there. Once up we will enjoy an amazing view of the surrounding environment, with the Vall ravine on one side and the Lloret ravine on the other.

We will then continue our ascent towards our goal, the Castell de l’Airosa. Depending on the angle where you look from, the mountain will look like a medieval castle, that’s the reason of the term castell -castle, in English_–_ on its name.

Finally, we will enjoy a nice descent near the Canal d’en Marc, with rock formations that will blow our imagination and lead us to the Racó d’en Marc itself. The total tour is about 9.5 kilometres long and the actual hiking time will be of about 4 hours. However, as we need to transfer to the starting point from Tortosa, you should plan for a 1-day activity.

So if you want to reach the spectacular Castell de l’Airosa, send me a request. Book your trip and join me on this great hiking tour in Catalonia.

About the guide

Mingo

Mountain Leader

I'm in love with the mountains, large spaces, wild and photography. I live in Tortosa, a small town with unknown and different environments around it, from the rugged mountains to the huge sandy beaches in the seashore, all of them in two Natural Parks: 'Delta del Ebro' and 'Els Ports'.
I'm an UIMLA mountain leader since 2014, when a change in my life gave me the opportunity to start this new stage.
I'm guiding all around 'Tierras del Ebro' and I make some getaways in search of great spaces by Lapland in autumn and winter.
If you wish to be guided during one of your next trips into nature you can get in touch with me. It will be my pleasure to guide you and make your trek a unique experience.

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
