Beautiful view over Galéria Bay. Suitable for families (caution: some sections along the coast are steep).
The first section along the coast has just been created (2019). You return via an existing path at the top of the hill.

Description of the walk

Park in the car park at the small port of Galéria

(S/E) At the far end of the car park, set off along a newly opened path (2018–19) that runs along the coast. On the first section of the path, there are a few sections close to the cliffs (take care) but the view is splendid.
Once you’ve reached the halfway point and climbed up the hill, join an existing path after passing between some low walls. You can stop for a break under a beautiful olive tree.

(1) Turn left and continue south-west until you reach a stream.

(2) Cross the Ruisseau de Pertiche and carry on straight ahead until you reach the junction with another wide path (la Partiche).

(3) Turn left and head back down towards the port of Galéria and the car park (S/E).

A short walk offering lovely views of the Gulf of Galeria. It’s not difficult, but you should still wear suitable footwear and take water with you when it’s hot.
