The Way of St. James

1 - Carrilet Greenway

The sections of the Way of Saint James in Catalonia in the innermost part of la Selva, in the mountainous area, correspond to the Way of Saint James in Catalonia, which, from the French border, heads towards Montserrat passing through Girona and this part of our region, coinciding with the Carrilet Greenway towards Olot. On this route, it passes through the municipalities of Sant Julià del Llor i Bonmatí, Anglès, la Cellera de Ter and Amer, and leaving the region towards Garrotxa, it goes through the Planes d’Hostoles.

2 - Variant via the reservoirs

In La Selva there is a small branch of this path that works as a shortcut. Specifically, the path passes through the Susqueda and Sau reservoirs from Pasteral, which avoids having to go through Olot on the way to Vic and Montserrat. On this branch, the path passes through the municipalities of Amer, Osor, Susqueda and Sant Hilari Sacalm, heading towards Vilanova de Sau, already in the Osona region.
