COLLSACABRA
Land of Wonders
Walking along roman and medieval routes from the quiet lake of Sau to the remote hermitages of Cabrera and Castello.

This is an exclusive tour specially dedicated to hikers aiming for adventure. However most of the walks are respecting a moderate standard, leaving time to fully explore this unknown area.
