Hey, we're missing most of the hiking routes in Spain, and I'd love to see 
more of them in the OSM cycling/hiking map.

Here are some ideas for routes:

There are also a couple of biking routes if people would like that more.

Catalonian is not really needed, specially if you're a foreigner. Most people 
at tourism-related places in the city or in the coast can speak english.
