Circuit of La Gleizo with a difference.

A lovely walk up the mountain behind Mons today. It's a new path for me. Quite a little gem I would say. No markings and only a few cairns on the edges of the little trail. This route cuts the Circuit of La Gleizo down from 3 hours to 2 hours, but still with all the beautiful views.

Start by taking the yellow/red trail in Mons but at the first junction turn right where there is a stone wall and a Y shaped tree. There is no markings on this trail but it goes up through the old terraces of chestnuts on a very old steeped path.

You come out on the red trail of La Gleizo but continue on instead up through the holme oaks on a tiny path to the col, where it joins the yellow path. Then go down the slope on the red path of the La Gleizo circuit. It's much more fun than using the ravine path. Beautiful views down into the Gorge de Heric and the Orb valley. It's a real little adventure path.
