The Galamus gorge is about 2 km long and is formed by the erosion of the Agly river that we can see at the bottom of the ravine all along the route. Leaving some impressive limestone rock walls rising vertically. The road that crosses is circulable for vehicles, but these can not exceed 2.7m high and 2m wide. It is narrow and can be driven in both directions, which means that at some points the passage can be complicated if you meet another car in front of you, for vans like ours or for those who want to do the route on foot, at both ends of the gorge there are free parking lots to park. We parked in Parking No. 4. In summer it becomes a more touristy area, since in addition to hiking you can practice other sports such as canyoning.

If you have no other option but to travel in August you will have a hard time to go on your own and book accommodation the same night. The ideal would be to have the itinerary more or less closed and have the reservations made in each of the points of the route. You will find all kinds of proposals with rural houses, beach hotels and functional hotels in the middle of the road.
The duration of this itinerary was 10 days and -looking back with the experience after the trip- I would change several things. We did about 2,000 kilometers and slept in different places every night except for Antibes where we rested two nights at a friend’s house.
