Not a walk, but coming from Estellencs it's not really difficult. It is probably thanks to this circumstance and the great view that you can hardly find a seat on the summit even in Corona times.
We had to queue for the summit photo during the autumn holidays, during the summer holidays it is a bit quieter here, probably due to the temperature.
Just before the summit there is a small climbing section, but even children (10 - 12?) mastered it effortlessly.A story for the summit:
The second Count of Formiguera had inherited a legal dispute from his father about jurisdiction over the citizens of the Santa Margarita district.The residents did not agree with this at all and offered resistance, which the Count wanted to break with hired thugs and mercenaries. Despite murder and manslaughter, the citizens fought back fiercely and were able to drive away the mercenaries.With this brutal approach, the Count finally attracted the hatred of the inhabitants of Santa Margarita. He had to flee to his lands at the foot of the Galatzó and because of these cruel events he was given the name Comte Mal (Count Evil).
At the foot of the Galatzó every year at the solstice, his restless soul rides through the night on a black stallion surrounded by green flames.

When the weather is nice, a brilliant view. Nice little Kraxelei just before the summit.
