GR171, etapa 13: Crtra C-235 - Prat de Comte

We come out on to the C235 road and follow it by its side for a stretch then along a pavement. Soon we leave the road behind and start up a trail with GR 171 markers, until arriving at the Santa Magdalena chapel.

We continue along the track that passes through the Serra de Pàndols. In the Coll d’en Canar the trail changes direction and passes along the shaded slope of the Serra de Pàndols. The view at the Cresta de Volendins is spectacular, with unique geological characteristics.

We follow a tarmac road to Coll d’en Torner, where a well-kept path goes down to the Vall del Fraile. We pass the Antoni Tàpies sculpture (two feet) and soon leave behind the main trail to arrive at the Canaletes river. We pass through a gorge, before arriving at the Virgin of Fontcalda Sanctuary. We climb the 200 m incline to arrive at Prat de Comte.
