We were so lucky to be recommended hiking Congost de Mont-rebei in Catalonia and it turns out to be our best thing to do in Spain. You can do it on the Aragon side but we explored the Catalonian side. After another night in the car we came to a must see hidden gem in Spain. The hike took in total 8 hours but was worth every step. The blue water of the river running through was breathtaking as was the trek trail itself. This place is so far off the tourist trail and beaten path and collectively we saw about 3 people the whole day. If you want to feel like you are discovering some hidden place like an old fashioned adventurer, this is the one for you. In this Spain travel video we hopefully capture why it is worth coming to Spain for Congost de Mont-rebei alone.

Welcome to the official Travel Beans UA-cam channel! On this channel, you’ll find a variety of travel and vlog content, in which you’ll see us in places like Thailand, Japan, USA, Slovenia, and more.
In 2017 we left home with just £500 in our bank account and a dream to make a sustainable travel lifestyle happen! We are now living our dream as digital nomads and want to inspire you to create your own story, whatever it may be!
After 5 years of aimless, yet enjoyable, backpacking around the world we found ourselves in New York City battling with depression. At this point, we decided to go home and confront this problem head on. After 6 tough months at home we decided to go away again, but this time with a goal in mind.. to turn travel into a lifestyle.
Our time spent battling depression has influenced our outlook on life dramatically! We are now traveling the world in search of what makes us happy. In our vlogs, we talk openly and honestly about our travel experiences, the digital nomad life and depression. We hope our videos can help to inspire you to create a life that makes you happy!

It is a pity that many Britons only know about Spain Magaluf, Benidorm and some beaches, they forget that Spain is the European country with more forest areas and with more climatic variety in Europe, there are high mountains, rivers, lakes, deserts, forests, meadows and a lot of history. Thank you for your contribution to project another image of Spain away from the noise of the coastal discos.
Years ago, When I was backpacking across Western Europe, I was just outside Barcelona, hiking in the foothills of mount Tibidabo. I was at the end of this path, and I came to a clearing, and there was a lake, very secluded, and there were tall trees all around. It was dead silent. Gorgeous. And across the lake I saw, a beautiful woman, bathing herself. But she was crying ...
The path and gorge are not a secret spot. Normally you meet quite a few tourists there. Otherwise, however, it is absolutely worth seeing.
Guys. Looks beautiful. We live close by. I am Swedish but my beau is catalonian and its a BIG insult to compare Serrano to Parma 🤣 glad you enjoyed tho. Looks beautiful :) //New to the Chanel
Not so far from where you drived with your car you have el Pantà de Terradets, and in winter mornings it can get pretty spectacular, because you can see the snowed Pyrenees on the background and sometimes have quite a lot of fog at surnise. And if you're lucky and it's a quite day it looks like a mirror of the snowed Pyrenees.
I am from that area and I travel around Catalonia quite often. I'm new to this channel so I don't know if someone has already told you about this places, but I would try to go to el Prat del Cadí during winter, or early spring when there's still snow. From the town of Estana it's a pretty easy hike just about 1 or 1:30 hours, depending on how much ice you come across.
Another easy trip, not physically demanding and just about 2h drive from Barcelona is from the town of Bagà, you can take a road that goes up into the mountain to el Coll de Pal. I also like to do it during winter time, usually the road is open of snow but you can check it before hand online. And from there you can see the Pedraforca, el Moixeró, walk up to la Tossa d'Alp or many other easy hikes with good views. On clear days you can even see Montserrat from up there.
Another one of my favorites is to see the sunrise during winter al l'Escala, on la Costa Brava, from the area of the highest part of the town, called Montgó, you can see the whole bay and the snowed Canigó on the background. A beautiful contrast. And then you can spend your day at el Cap de Creus, or from places like Palamós you can walk the camí de ronda and see many different beaches that you can only access hiking.
And if you like the Parc of Aigüestortes but you feel there's too many tourists, you can go to l'estany d'Airoto, it's very close, and about a 3 hour hike with way less people.
Another amazing place is la Val d'Aran, where you can even drive to places such as els Uelhs deth Joeu or el Saut deth Pish, and of course you have several hikes that start from those points.
Thanks a lot! I saved these places for potential hikes in the near future
The catalan Pirinees are very nice.since Andora , Fenche Catalonie , espanish Catalonie. But i now that the Aragon Pirinees are georgeos!!
An underrated place in Spain is Cabo de Gata, It's a virgin natural park in Almeria (South East of Spain) There you'll find dessertic landscapes, virgin beaches, crystal blue waters and some quiet white fishing villages. It's also a cheap destination as it's not as packed with tourists as the rest of the mediterranean coast. You'll feel like you are in Mars there. There is also a dessert where hollywood western films were filmed, it's called Tabernas Dessert.
Three letters W O W that puts climbing catbells in Lake District to pissing shame the wildlife the weather the colour of that water even the footlong hanging sweaty sandwich looked damn edible. I know you guys work terribly hard but u must love your lifestyle it’s truly awe inspiring. Keep it up lil beans
COOOKE OUT!!!!
Aw thanks so much Michael! We really loved the hiking in the UK.. but we agree, not much can compare to THIS hike. It was just ridiculous.
I hiked this a couple of years back on a cold December morning - I wrote a piece on it for baldhiker which you can easily find. It's a great spot but if you are looking for rival walks then the Cares Gorge in the Picos de Europa is definitely worth a look, or the Ordesa canyon in Ordesa y Monte Perdido national park although both are on a track which is slightly more beaten then this. Try Aiguestortes NP, La Garrotxa, or La Cerdanya for more great Catalan hiking spots.
I wanted to learn about less touristic places in Spain. I love your tours and you guys are a lot of fun to watch..Greetings from a mexican living in North west of United States!
you should go visit Vall d'aran in the winter....its literally like the swiss alps...and nobody knows about it...big part of Catalan culture...the Pyrenees are our home
11:08 that layers in the rock combined with the contrast of the green nearby - absurdly beautiful and outstanding ! Just WOW !!
Awesome hike one day...
This gets a big thumbs up. My wife and i are retired and living in Catalunya, under the Tivissa hills. We will most certainly visit this place, it looks very much like Siurana, with a touch of the El Chorro Gorge in southern Spain. You two come across very professional, a job well done!
What a lovely couple... enjoyed your video and the takes of the spectacular place.. .greetings from California (Los Angeles) a Peruvian-American lover of nature..
I am adding this to my ever growing Places to go list. Thank you for sharing.
MasyaaAllah ada tanaman gandum🥰 I like gandum
I love congost de mont rebei! My province Lleida! My region Catalonia!
We love you guys! We may be your oldest fans (other than your grandparents)!
Aw you guys are awesome! Pretty sure my grandparents don't even know what the internet is haha
Congost de Mont-Rebei is absolutely amazing, we found it almost by accident and spent all day there. We also visited Parc d'Aigüestortes, about 80 km north from the Congost, and it was maybe even more impressive. If you enjoyed Catalonia I would recommend you to visit also Northern Catalonia (which is in Southern France), I absolutely loved it.
Wow, that place also looks awesome!! I LOVE finding these hidden gems.. there must be so many incredible places that we'll never know about
Northern Catalonia??? hahahahahaha ridicolous Imperialism jajajsjjjjajaja
Beautiful
I live in rural Andalusia , Vultures are common but impressive the first time you see them swarm xx
So incredible!! What an overwhelmingly beautiful, awe inspiring place to hike. The looks on your faces say it all. When they are not pressed against a rock face. Ha! Very cool video!
thank you!!
MasyaaAllah beautiful
hope you two didn't get sunburned/heatstroke from your day of hiking in the hot sun! that water was beautiful! regarding the vultures, I seem to recall reading that they can have an EIGHT FOOT wingspan, so, yeah, they are pretty huge!
Wow! That is insane! They were absolutely enormous.. never seen such huge birds before. Fascinating..
such a good video
Amazing. LOVE SPAIN🇪🇸
Marked as a place to go. Wow
I definitely gonna visit this place!!!
I hope so! When you do, let us know! :)
Wow!! This is easily one of the most beautiful places I've seen on youtube and I can't imagine the impression in real life! Great video guys! You got a new sub! Cheers from Boston!!
Omg !! Great video guys ❤️ !!!
Question: are you able/allow to camp ⛺️ for a few days ???
Thank you for sharing!!!!
Nice job on those sandwiches Emma, they look scrumptious. Beautiful area. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Jon!
I m sorry to tell you but you ve taken the long route ....if you continue on the path you can find a parking. I ve parked there and my route was 2 hours tops from parking to the end of the carved path on the mountain... I ve been there twice and I would like to go again in the future
Spectacular scenery! Finding a place like this not overrun with tourists or overly commercialized is priceless. Truly what I love to see and do when I travel. Video was gorgeous, like watching a National Geographic special! Great work!🥰🏞👍
Thank you so much :) places as beautiful as this make filming easy! haha
The site is actually very crowded in weekend and holidays
You guys are real!! Loved your personalities, both of you
Im glad you made it back. That must have sucked bad. Thanks for the views, they were amazing
Nice my dudes! Will definitely keep this spot in mind when I come to Spain, such a cool shade of blue-grey water. Have you guys been camping?
You definitely should.. it's an awesome hike. Never been camping in Spain I'm afraid.. we do love camping though. Should give it a go next time
I see you giving the rocks some lovin
I must go here and hike this hidden gem. Looks absolutely stunning. ❤❤
Definitely! Couldn't recommend it highly enough!
Serrano ham is basically Parma?????? That's like saying club soda is basically Champagne!!!!!!
Worse comparison ever 😂
You are amazing, I keep my fingers crossed for a
another good trip!!!
Alex - try jamon iberico instead of serrano. It's a bit more expensive but i'd say it's worth every penny (or cent).
what a cool place!!! thanks for sharing!!!
You guys are uncovering so many spots that really nobody knows about except locals. That place was so incredibly beautiful and the water so blue. I envisioned diving into the water. Thinks for taking us with you on your journey. I feel quite comfortable inside with air and a beer watching this. :)😂😂
Thanks Bob.. that sounds like a very comfortable way to have been watching this! :)
Conquer
Wow amazing views
Like your new style vlogs. Very funny to see you both just enjoying life. Not just filming everything you eat. Unlike some other vloggers so boring. Really funny trying to cool down on the rock😁😁😁and yes we're from bristol
Your kitchen has a steering wheel?!?! I'm employing the wrong kitchen designers. Not sure I would hack that walk but glad you did it for me, some awsome views
You should have seen us on the last kilometre.. practically crawling! haha would go through the pain again to see that view though.. incredible
Really enjoying 👍👍👍❤️👍👍❤️❤️👍
Don´t forget to bring a lot of water!!!!
very beautiful
loved this video ... makes me want to go to spain.
Hey! I came across your video through a search. I have a question. Is it best to hike that mountain ⛰ early in the morning, like starting at 7:00am? That way it should be cooler, than at 10:00am and so forth.
Hey great video! We've been thinking of signing up for Cambly as well whilst we are travelling. Do you have a referral code we could maybe use? 😀
Thanks guys!
Yeah of course! If you get hired, they throw $20 my way too.. so it's a win for everyone! Here you go: www.cambly.com/en/tutors?referralCode=emma145
Good luck!
These videos make my day!! LOLing so much. Lovin' your work!!
We love LOLing! haha thanks so much
Sometimes we find heaven.
Hi
I was last week here is amazing...😍
Hey Beanos dias. Americans overuse the word awesome. I'd forgive them for saying the scenery in the video is awesome. Gracias por la película realmente beano.
Wow. Can you also go into the water??
Yes
I am planning a trip to the Pyrenees this summer, 2020. After watching your video I have now put Congost de Mont-rebei Catalonia on my top destination list. I would like to know what month you were there? I read that May was the rainiest month and that temperatures in the Pyrenees in July and August only reached 68 degrees as a high. Either that was incorrect information or you were having a freak heatwave during the time you were there. I'm not a hard core hiker, but, I love to take pictures. Any other destinations or suggestions you have for me would be greatly appreciated. I really loved your video. Cathy
We were there in late May/early June.. it was pretty consistently hot during the day and then cooler in the evenings. So happy to hear you've added it to your destination list - you wont regret it! We also loved the hiking/nature in Bulgaria - plus it was cheap and not very busy. Enjoy the Pyrenees!
@@TravelBeans We have decided to go to the Pyrenees in September. Hoping for warm, dry weather. Thank you for your response.
Those Vultures are waiting for you slip and Fall!!!! Tastey Morsels you are!
Thanks for sharing. How do we reach here if we don't drive. Is going with a local guide safe for a solo female traveller?
the Bay of Fundy is very underrated come to New Brunswick on Canada's East coast
Wow, the Bay of Fundy looks very cool! Canada, in general, seems like a pretty epic destination for nature lovers.. it's only a matter of time until the beans go there I recon!
@@TravelBeans your welcome anytime ,, might wanna plan a trip through the months of May through to late sept though because the winter months can be very cold and snowy LOL
check out - St.Martins / Hopewell Rocks / reversing falls and the (Jet boat rides) / the city of Saint John / St Andrews by the Sea / Grand manan Island / Old Sow whirl pool on Deer island ( 2nd largest whirlpool in the world / and Campobello Island .
New subscribers here beautiful video and love how humble ye both are love from 🇮🇪
Aw thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video! Welcome to the Bean Team! :)
@@TravelBeans my friend Jerry Ashe told me about your content and he was not wrong
Hey! We know Jerry! 😂 That's so awesome! Thank you guys!!! We need to visit Ireland sometime!
saklikent in turkey is very similar
oh wow.. looks beautiful!
Lithuania is pretty awesome
That's cool to hear.. we're hoping to go there later this summer if we have time! :D
YNWA. Hey let's face it you wouldn't want to be walking alone on that path.Tis a pity you have done Turkey already cause that's where the next Champions League Final is. ;0)
We'll be back.. don't you worry about that :D
8:32 if you aren’t seeing otters you just aren’t high enough.
It isn't a round hike, is it? how did you do with the car?
this area in catalonia is amazing!!!!!
😍😍😍
what camera that u use ?
Another fun video from my favorite BAM's (broke ass millennials) The English pronunciation is so bad that even Americans can spot it so it is hopeless. If you did want to improve, you could start with the word "pronunciation" OR, don't bother, we understand you fine. Keep up the good work, your videos always put me in a good mood. Love and safe travel to you both.
😊👍❤
Yeah alright you saw some birds but where were the tortoises?
Good point. Turkey wins..
basically Parma ham! don't let the Spaniards hear you say that!
HEhehehe
Please wear hats when you are hiking in heat like this
Catalonia's MUST SEE Hidden Gem...
Well worth the trek!! Love Spain!! , did you hang an LFC flag up buddy? LOL
2:24 & 2:35 pro·nun·ci·a·tion
/prəˌnənsēˈāSH(ə)n/
Bwaaahahaha! .... sorry, mate...
fantastic place all you need is a vending machine with cold beer
if only eh! 🍻
serra de tramuntana!
Oh my goodness!! I NEED to go here!!!!
That narrow cliff path looked very familiar, Spaghetti Western circa 1970's, they were all shot in Spain and now we know where. For f*** sake get some hats, we don't want to see you in some foreign A & E with heat stroke. 💋💋👸🧔
lol, no. westerns were filmed in south spain this is northern east spain.
I've never seen anything as real as Al with his face slammed into a rock face 😂
Haha you fucker Al, we're so behind on the videos, if you mention this in the next 8 videos I'm gonna be ruined on a Monday night....
Nice banana chugging... Though that hike looked crazy exhausting, well done on surviving!
