The Los Angeles group

From March 20 to 23, 2026, a group of 7 boys from Los Angeles (USA) walked the first three stages of the Camino d’Andorra. Specifically, they did:

Day 20, At 8 pm they arrived at Barcelona airport from the United States of America and the first thing they did was rent a van at the airport. They then set off for Pallerols where they arrived after 12 midnight. Ramon Camats was waiting there to welcome them and accommodate them in the Rectory.

Day 21, At 11 am they set off on foot from Peramola to La Ribalera, accompanied by Ricardo Gómez Val. They arrived at the Barranc de la Ribalera around 2 pm. They celebrated mass and then went down to Juncàs and La Penella where Ramon was waiting for them with a car to take them to Pallerols.

On the 22nd, Ramon accompanied the group to Pont del Codó and from there they walked up to Fenollet where they arrived around one in the afternoon. After lunch, they climbed the Santa Fe mountain and went down to Vall de Cabó, where Octavio Rico picked them up.

On the 23rd, Octavio accompanied them by car to Vall de Cabó, near Oliva’s house, and from there they walked up to the town of Ares and after passing through Baridà they arrived at Noves de Segre, where Octavio picked them up again.

That same afternoon they went to Torreciudad and then to Lourdes (France) from where they returned to Barcelona to fly to Los Angeles.

In total they walked about 55 km of the Camino d’Andorra -from Peramola to Noves de Segre- with a positive accumulated elevation gain of about 2,800 meters.

A few magnificent days in contact with nature, hoping to return next year to finish the entire Camino d’Andorra, from Noves de Segre to Sant Julià de Lòria (Andorra).
