The "Cabanes de Mataporc" from Soréde

An enjoyable hike that crosses Sorède, follows the river "Le Tassio," and allows you to discover old shepherd's huts in the Albères, a very well-preserved vernacular heritage.


Depart from the Tourist Office of Sorède towards the upper part of the village. In front of the bakery, continue straight on Rue des Lilas, then Rue de Fount del Sabaté. At the intersection, turn left, then take the footbridge over the Tassio.
At the junction, turn right onto Rue du Veïnat and veer slightly right onto Rue du Mas Félix. Continue your route by crossing the Tassio once again via the small wooden bridge and ascend the path ahead of you.
At this point, turn left onto Rue du Mas Soula and proceed straight, following the river. Leave the housing estate to reach a shaded and marked trail that runs alongside the river.
At the intersection, take the left path while staying on the marked route. Exercise caution on the trail overlooking the river for a few tens of meters.
Continue until reaching the road, then cross it. Carry on along the trail, following the markings. There's a steep slope before reaching the track.
At this point, turn left and head uphill towards the cabins and the sheepfold.
Return to the trail on the right and follow it to point 8, then retrace your steps for the return journey.
