A stunning hike from Rosas to Montjoi beach by the sea.
After a stretch with no signposts at all... for quite a long way.
Arrived safely in Cadaqués.

⚑Departure from Cadaqués (Girona)
Did Salvador Dali, who lived in Portlligat for many years, often travel to Cap de Creus via the camino viell del far? This path hasn't changed much since it was the only overland route to Spain's most easterly point. The route winds its way between low dry-stone walls, linking the many "calas" along the way. Some of these offer small, secluded beaches, a welcome invitation to take a dip in these rugged surroundings.

⚑Departure from Roses (Girona)
This hike, with its scents of heath, is ideal for Costa Brava enthusiasts looking to escape the crowded beaches. At the gates of Rosas, the route initially follows the coastal path (Cami de Ronda), passing by numerous rocky coves and a few secluded beaches. A steep climb then leads to the Torre de Norfeu and the cape of the same name, which you can walk around via the viewpoint. The return journey is via Cala Jóncols, then inland, climbing to higher ground to make the most of the sweeping views stretching as far as Cap de Begur. This is a medium-distance hike, but there are several steep sections that require a good level of fitness.

This is a two-part hike. The first part consists of a short detour inland to gain altitude and enjoy beautiful views of Roses Bay and the Catalan Pyrenees before returning to the coast at Montjoi. The return journey is along the coast via the Cami de Ronda, which follows the coastline and allows you to discover several small coves and magnificent beaches offering excellent swimming spots in the summer. At the end of the route, a short detour to the Falconera viewpoint and its immense panorama provides a beautiful conclusion to this circular route.

⚑Departure from el Port de la Selva (Girona)
For a swim in turquoise water on a deserted beach, there's no need to go to the tropics. Just a two-hour walk from Port de la Selva, and halfway to Cap de Creus, there's a pretty cove just waiting for you. The only problem is that it'll take just as long to get back, and forget about the benefits of swimming. But it's worth it.
