How can I get there?
Behind the town hall of Arnes there is an asphalted track that, in just over 4 km, will take us to Estrets. Another option is to get there from Horta de Sant Joan, at the southern end. To do this, follow the tarmac track that leaves a few metres after joining the T-330 road, with the sign "Els Ports". This track allows us to visit the recreational area of La Franqueta, from which a track, passing through the Miralles pass, reaches the Montfort pass.
