1. What is the Pallerols Road from Rialb to Andorra? The road that goes from Pallerols de Rialb to Andorra is a route that goes from the bridge of Peramola on the river Segre, after Oliana, and reaches Andorra through mountain paths. These roads have been travelled since the old times and were used as a escape route through Andorra during the Spanish Civil War of 1936-1939, and then during the Second World War.
2. What does the Association of Friends of the Road from Pallerols de Rialb to Andorra intend? The Association intends to recover these traditional roads that were practically lost and to rehabilitate some buildings that are in the route so that they serve as a shelter for hikers. You can see the "Objectives" section of the website.

The Association carries out all kinds of activities related to its purposes such as: organizing conferences, round tables and other cultural activities related to geography, art and history of the road; promoting tourism around those places where the road goes through; organizing excursions to any of its sections; organizing work camps with young people in order to improve the way; organizing and to collaborating in religious events that take place in the area, such as the feast of Saint Mark and the feast of The Find of the Rose in Pallerols de Rialp.

5. Can anyone walk the road from Pallerols to Andorra? Some parts show some greater difficulty than others. However, to date, people between the ages of 8 and 81 have carried out walks of between 7-8 hours, provided they have a certain habit of walking. It is important to do it with good footwear and mountain clothing which is appropriate to the weather conditions of the moment the trip is made. Finally, it is recommended to carry plenty of water and paying attention to the road signs. As it is about routes through areas with little transit, it is easy to get lost in case of getting out of the way. An important recommendation is that, before starting the excursion, the expeditionaries study the route that they wish to do thoroughly. This information is available at the "Routes" section of the website. The book "Camí d'Andorra" can also be helpful. By studying this information well, you can also reach all major roads by car.
