Walk Description

At the time of writing this guide, road names are a scarce commodity in Jesús Pobre. The names used in the description below are the same as those used on the accompanying map. It is anybody’s guess what the real names are!!!!!!!

1. After parking walk to the right of the apartment buildings and past the Riu Rau market building on the right, cross the road and walk diagonally left up the hill.
2. You will reach a plaza, Placa del Poble. Go to the end and turn left into Carrer Major.
3. Walk up Carrer Major. Further on there is an old well on the right. The road continues and leaves the town and heads downhill in the campo.
4. As it leaves the town the road changes its name to Cami Bisserot. There seem to be a number of roads in this area with this name! As you leave the town, ignore the road on the right called Bisserot!!!
5. Go down the first part of the hill and soon you will see a white house on the left, very close to the road.
   You have a choice here.
   Choice 1: Stay on the main road
6. Go past the white house staying on the main road.
7. You will quickly come to a junction with a blue house with fish painted on it.
8. Turn left here and follow the road down a steep hill. You will pass some nice old houses on the right.
9. Halfway down there is a turning off to the right, ignore this and stay on the main road. Both routes arrive at a T-junction where you will see the railway line 50m in front of you. The road you are joining (Cami Real) runs parallel with the railway line. Turn left at this T-junction..
   Choice 2: Divert through the country lanes
10. (Dotted route on map). Immediately before the white house, there is a concrete path to the left going down a very steep hill.
11. Follow this to the bottom where the path turns right into a quiet country lane. [This route may be wet after rain.]
    Choices 1 & 2
12. Both routes arrive at a T-junction where you will see the railway line 50m in front of you. The road you are joining (Cami Real) runs parallel with the railway line. Turn left at this T-junction.
13. With the railway line on your right, follow the road until you see the pigeon farm on your left and a bridge over the railway on your right.
14. Do not cross the bridge but go left up the rocky track, passing the pigeon farm on your left.
15. The lane bends slightly to the right and then, when it turns sharp left take the roughly concreted track uphill and NOT the farm track straight on, After about 25 metres take the narrow path straight ahead. There are white
    painted arrows on rocks to follow. [Do not follow the rough road as it continues uphill and left at this stage]
16. The path is narrow with a dirt and occasional rock surface. It meanders along with views of the house on the hill
    to the left and views to the right. Ignore any narrower paths to the right and left.
17. The path dog-legs right and left (ignore the concrete path to the right) and continues until it reaches a tarmac road. Turn right here.
18. You will pass a road joining from the right, continue straight on, then the road bends to the left
19. Follow your road until you reach the junction at the cemetery.
20. Turn left down Cami del Cementeri with the Cementeri to your right.
21. After passing a house with an impressive gate the road turns sharp left (looks a bit like a T-junction). Notice that you are following the cycle route. It then bends around to the right.
22. Carry on up a slight incline until you reach another sort of T-junction. Turn left (continuing to following the cycle route) around a quaint old summer house(?) which forms the corner building.
23. Almost immediately the road then turns right. You will see a “Quatre Canons” sign high up on the brick wall as you turn right.
24. The road passes three/four houses and then turns right yet again. Notice the “blue steps” on your left as you round the bend. You are on Carrer Del Baix (no signs to that effect?)
25. Follow the road past some more houses on both sides and then the road turns left and then left again before turning right.
26. The road passes a new house on the left and approaches some new houses\apartments (on the right). Just before the apartments, turn right into Carrer Pinaret (former carrer Dalt).
27. Carrer Pinaret is a long straight road leading back to your car
