Hiking trails with specific landscape references

The PR-CV 20 hiking trail ends at the Font de la Forata. If you prefer a clear destination on a hike, this endpoint is the trail’s precise landscape reference. The connection between the name PR-CV 20 and the Font de la Forata gives you a specific spatial point of orientation.
