This set of two Montsec hiking maps includes Montsec d’Ares and Montsec de Rúbies, also known as Meià. At 1:20,000, it complements the previously published maps of Montsec d’Estall, Sant Llorenç de Montgai and Les Avellanes, all at the same scale.
From the boundary with Aragon at Congost de Mont-rebei to the foothills of Santa María de Meià, the Montsecs are a leading area for hiking, via ferrata, climbing and cycling. The set helps users plan a wide range of outings and mountain activities.
Spanish publisher Editorial Piolet produces detailed maps of areas within Spain for hikers and mountain bikers. Initially focused on the Barcelona region, its coverage is gradually extending to other parts of the country.
The topographic base shows contour lines, peaks and shaded mountain ridges, as well as roads, villages, hamlets and farms. Selected walking trails are marked, including GR and PR routes.
Other walking trails are shown with standard black lines rather than a bright colour. Some maps in the collection also include mountain biking routes, although this is the exception rather than the rule. Symbols identify useful features such as campsites, attractions and caves.
