It treats of a pleasant itinerary that has two very differentiated parts. All the route of the footpath happens near to the course of the torrent of the Guilleumes, from the village until the source. The final stretch of the itinerary is typically Montserrat, where will find a way with a true earring and with a rocky terrain of conglomerate.
We go out of the Square of the Font Big in the village of Monistrol of Montserrat, go up by the street Schools in direction to the Pavilion Pau Ribas. We follow the right side of the pavilion until taking a footpath through the cual cross several abandoned fields. Following this way arrive to the road that goes of Monistrol to Montserrat.
We cross just across the road and find us to the height of the start of one of the ways of ascensión to Montserrat. We go up by the road some 50 metres. Immediately we find a house to our left side near of which there is a footpath with signaling that goes up us until the Source of the Guilleumes.
We will arrive to a beautiful area with the source at the front, where will be able to freshen us with the water that mana all the year. Here we will be able to rest and admire the splendid mountain of Montserrat and in particular the rocky needle of the Cavall Bernat on ours.
The way of turn is the same, to arrive again to our point of origin, the Plaça of the Font Big.
