Top 10 Nature & Wildlife Areas in Province of Lleida, Catalonia

August 2020 Amazing day hiking in Mont Rebei! Couple of things to note that we wished we had known before: Take lots of water, food, some goggles and solid trainers to hike in. Maybe even some water shoes if you want to dive in from the cliffs or bridges. And loo roll if you need to go! The website for booking the parking at Masieta was down and didn’t work, and the email address doesn’t get a response and they don’t speak very good English if you manage to get through by phone. So we decided to just wing it and drive there to see what the situation was. Instantly we were told we needed an online booking voucher and that the car park was full. If the car park is full, don’t worry, you can drive a bit further up the road and just leave your car tucked out of the way on the side, everyone seems to do this as the car park is so small. We did this, and ended up saving the money it costs to park, win win! You then just enter the park through the car park and there’s a small shop at the entrance to buy snacks and more water and a toilet (the only toilet there is, otherwise you have to pee in the nature!) We decided to take the most popular path all the way to the suspension bridge which took about 2hours with stops along the way. We stopped for lunch At a point just beyond the suspension bridge, then carried on about another hour to climb the famous Monfalco stairs (basically some wooden stairs bolted to the face of a cliff, not for the faint hearted!!) We went down there, and then up again. We then started to slowly head back and stopped for a couple of swims as it was really hot and we had run out of water! Manage to get some water at the shop at the entrance as we left though. We spent about 5-6 hours there overall and it was beautiful. Tomorrow, we are going back, but to the Corca car park where we’ve booked Kayaks, as we want to experience the Gorge from down below. Zenith Aventura is who we booked through, and we opted for a twilight session from 4pm (50 euros for a double kayak until 9pm) You can pay to rent kayaks when you are in the park so that you only have to walk one way, but we’ve decided to just go back another day rather than combine everything into one.
