A trek along this mountain range is more than just a hike; it’s part pilgrimage, part culinary and wine adventure, and certainly the best way to straddle the two countries of France and Spain from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean Sea. A 7-day moderate to strenuous trek starting in the Basque country in Spain, through high pastures and jagged rocky peaks, then traverses a lunar landscape to the highest peak, Mount Aneto, and ends in Monserrat, near Barcelona. Inhabited since Neolithic times, these mountain areas have witnesses the crossing of Moorish armies, heretic persecutions, pilgrimages, and more recently a revival of their cultural heritages and traditions. Definitely a must do trek! June to September are the best months for this trip.

Nadia Le Bon recommended this trek, and I imagine it's one of the ones she's done with the company she works for, called Mountain Sobek - you can clink though to the website by clicking on her name - that's probably your best chance to finding the exact itinerary.
