Description

Do you wish to explore Barcelona in a very original way? Join me on this half-day dry canyoning adventure, in Canal del Joc de l’Oca. And discover another part of this beautiful city, away from the city crowds and into the wild!

In the heart of the Catalonia region, within the city of Barcelona, lies a quiet place unknown by many. It is hidden from the crowds that roam the city, and deep into a wild area of splendid sceneries.

The Canal del Joc de l’Oca is located in Torrent del Migdia. This deep notch cuts Montserrat massif, a multi-peaked mountain range, that forms part of the Catalan Pre-Coastal Range.

The path we’ll take will lead us to the Camí dels Francesos, that, along with Masia de Can Jorba, which we’ll visit next, has a great historic significance. Then, we’ll head to the Coll de la Ajaguda, also known as Bassal dels Gats. And from there, we’ll head down towards the Torrent, until we reach La Cajoleta, a small yet dazzling needle.

This intriguing place has many stories behind. One of them comes from its name, which many consider is from the Game of the Goose, or Juego de la Oca, in Spanish. So we’ll jump from terrace to terrace, just as if we were in the game, going from one box to the other.

If you wish to enjoy the best rappels, and most thrilling descents, and conquer the Canal del Joc de l’Oca, just as you’d do with the board game, send me a message. I promise it will be a fun and unforgettable adventure!

Mountain Guide

Right in the heart of Catalonia, well connected with Barcelona, stands the Montserrat massif; a mountain with big natural, cultural and spiritual significance that rises sharply to 1,236 meters from the top of St. Jeroni.

I organize guided activities and courses of all levels, and offer the possibility to discover this fantastic mountain accompanied by a professional certified guide.

Along with all these activities in Montserrat, I can guide you over all the natural sites of Catalonia and the Pyrenees, a region with a wide range of possibilities for trekkers, hikers, climbers, etc.

I promote the use of sustainable transportation (train, zipper, funicular) and the development of activities that stimulate in participants a feeling of belonging to the places he or she visits. This perception of belonging, as we work with feelings and perceptions, can perfectly be assimilated to a sense of spirituality.

Our main activities are:
Spiritual values of Nature for private, groups or companies
Rock climbing
Hiking
Via Ferrata

What people are saying about Francesc

Carola

Everything has been perfect.. Thank you

Jeremy

We had a fantastic time doing a via ferrata with Francesc. He sent me a map link so it was easy to drive my rental car to meet him. He supplied helmets, harnesses, gloves, and via ferrata kit. We had so much fun. Francesc is a really good guide and a really nice guy. If I’m ever in the area again I will for sure go climbing with him again.

Cesc was unable to guide us so hooked us up with his friend Gerard who was fantastic! The whole thing was seamless: - we got great advice on what train to get - we were met by a taxi at the station to take us to the start point - Gerard set us up with safety gear then took us hiking to the start of the Via Ferrata - Gerard was patient, helpful, and professional. Also just a really nice guy. - The climbing itself was _terrifying_ but so so satisfying when we got to the top! Big recommend, great fun, worth every penny.

COLIN

Very nice day with Cesc, he is careful and good company, thanks again!!

Zander

It rained the day of my guided climb which made the trip less than I had hoped for. However, Xavi made it the best day he could and after we bailed we did some sport climbing where it was protected from rain.
