De bästa löprundorna runt Coustouges

Second visit to the church of Sant Miquel and the old town of Bassegoda. From the dates of the cemetery I would say that it was abandoned in the late 60s. Good place to rest, in every way. 100 meters away is the shelter.

The gravel path is much smoother than a few kilometers higher, towards the Col de Riu, where it is much more brittle and limited on gravel (especially loaded).

The unguarded Bassegoda refuge is very close to the church of Sant Miquel, and right on the GR 11 (Pyrenean Path). It has space for 30 people, a water fountain and a fireplace. You have to pay 5 euros to access, always under prior reservation. Check more details at this link: https://www.cee.cat/bassegoda/.

This ancient refuge, built in the 1970s, is located in the ancient village of Bassegoda, 820 meters above sea level. The Bassegoda Can Galan refuge is also open to the public for overnight stays. You can book by email at refugis@cee.cat and the cost is €5 per night per person, but there are discounts for groups of children and hiking centres.

At this point there is an area to park. The road to get there from Albanya is steep and narrow but manageable weather permitting. Afterwards it is only accessed with a 4x4 vehicle. Several routes can be started from here, such as the Puig de Bassegoda and the Bassegoda refuge.

Ancient Romanesque church located in the neighborhood of Bassegoda, 815 meters above sea level.

This mountain, at 1056 m, is the highest point of the Serra de Bac Grillera and is included in the list of 100 peaks of the F.E.E.C. We find a geodetic vertex of the National Geographic Institute and the Cartographic Institute of Catalonia. To the north we can enjoy good views of the Salines, the town of Tapis and Maçanet de Cabrenys in the background, while to the south we have the Serra del Mont and the Bassegoda.

On June 20, 1976, the CEE (Centro Excursionista Empordanés) inaugurated Can Galan. It was the old school of the municipality of Bassegoda, like an open and free mountain refuge.
