It is 6.82 km long on a circular route that covers the western exterior of Llorenç, approaching the Papiolet and the Priorat of Banyeres.

 

Places of interest

 

Dry Stone Bench

 

This bank was possibly designed for workers' rest during their work hours. The construction of this bench allows a rest to all those who perform this tour under the warm sun.

 

The seven Dry Stone barracks

 

The barracks of Llorenç have circular structures. Adjoined to margins in some cases and mostly are in good condition. The seven huts on the route seem to have aged very well with nature thanks to the plants that grow in their domes.
