Stage 6 of the GR 92 long-distance path in Catalonia crosses the col on the right-hand side of the picture, then climbs the cliff beyond to arrive at Montgrí castle.

The GR 92 is part of the extensive GR footpath network of paths, tracks and trails in Spain. It will eventually run the length of the Mediterranean coast of Spain, from Portbou, on the border with France to Tarifa, the most southerly point of Spain. In doing so it will pass through the autonomous communities of Catalonia, Valencia, Murcia and Andalusia. The sections in Catalunya and Murcia are complete and fully signposted, but work is still in progress on the sections in Valencia and Andalusia, and sources differ on the eventual length of the path.[1][2]

The GR 92 forms the southern portion of the E10, one of the European long-distance paths. The E10 runs between Finland and Spain.[clarification needed][citation needed]
