The “Via Catalana” circuit runs down Catalonia’s coastline, between La Jonquera and Alcanar. The route has been chosen in accordance with various criteria:
- It is the backbone of the Catalan lands, following the ancient Roman Via Augusta. So the people of Valencia and Northern Catalonia (though it’ll be on a working day for them) will be able to extend the route through their territory. The Balearic Islands can perform parallel actions simultaneously.
- The routes used are easily accessible to most people and are basically flat and linear, and therefore accessible to people with disabilities.
- It reaches the bulk of the population, especially in areas where there are plenty of people who can still join and get involved in the process.
- The mobility of vehicles travelling to or from Europe is guaranteed, so their daily routine is not interfered with.
- It follows the route of clear examples of the lack of investment in infrastructure by Spain in Catalonia, such as the N-340 and the N-2 roads, and the Mediterranean railway line.
