Editorial Review
The book offers a practical and well-structured guide for a significant section of the GR 92, one of the most iconic long-distance trails on the Catalan coast. The information is presented clearly, with an emphasis on landscape and historical aspects, providing added value for the hiker. Although the pocket format makes it manageable, the brevity of the work (108 pages) suggests that it focuses on essential data without delving into extensive details. It is a useful tool for anyone wanting to plan a trek through this area, especially if a practical and direct approach is sought.
