Hiking with Birdwatching in the Sierra de Llaberia

Context The Sierra de Llaberia lies within the Pre-Litoral Catalan Range, renowned for its limestone formations and ancient footpaths that once connected rural villages. This protected natural area hosts rich biodiversity, particularly Mediterranean bird species, and offers panoramic views toward the Mola de Colldejou. The rugged terrain, steep cliffs, and wind-swept landscapes create a dramatic atmosphere, where the scent of thyme and rosemary drifts on the breeze.

The experience During this half-day guided hike, you’ll follow marked trails across rocky terrain, passing through the Portell de Llaberia and the chain-equipped Portell del Llop. The crunch of stones beneath your boots echoes in rhythm with bird songs overhead. You’ll discover remnants of old village gates and ancient pathways used for centuries, while enjoying open vistas and the soft rustle of Mediterranean scrub in the wind.

For whom This route suits hikers with basic hiking experience and good mobility, particularly those interested in nature and cultural heritage. It is not recommended for people with vertigo, limited mobility, or little experience on technical rocky terrain.

Local context The village of Llaberia, serving as both start and end point, preserves its rural traditions and deep connection to the natural environment. The local community maintains ancestral trails and fosters respect for the region’s Mediterranean biodiversity, which defines the character of this mountain range.
