Castelló d'Empúries walks

A lovely, very easy walk in a nature reserve where you can see Camargue horses, flamingos and other species of birds. You can even walk all the way to the sea.

Discover the Parc Naturel des Aiguamolls de l'Empordà, Catalonia's second largest wetland.All along the route, there are facilities accessible to all for wildlife observation.

Starting from a car park offering breathtaking views of the Bay of Rosas, a hiking trail rises up, promising one of the most beautiful experiences on the Costa Brava. This walk, as beautiful as its destination, leads to an exceptional site: the Benedictine monastery of San Pere de Rodes. Perched on the mountainside, this masterpiece of Romanesque art awaits you for an unforgettable dive into history, all for the modest sum of €6. Prepare to fall in love with this place, where the beauty of the Mediterranean landscape meets architectural grandeur.

A short, easy circular route, even for children, to visit Sant Salvador de Verdera Castle and Sant Pere de Rodes Monastery. Very well-marked trails with superb views of the Mediterranean Sea and the region. Although the route is quite short, it is not shaded.

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.

Starting from L'Escala, a magnificent hike leads to some exceptional and surprising Greco-Roman ruins. For €6, you can enjoy a comprehensive tour lasting nearly two hours with an audio guide on your smartphone. A real favourite!

Stunning panoramic views of the sea, Llanca, Puerto de la Selva, Cap Creus, Rosas Bay and Les Albères. Take a well-deserved break at the fountain square in the village of Serra de Rodes

The path from Llança is well marked and climbs steadily to the monastery. As a bonus, a visit to the monastery can enhance your outing. We started from Cau del Llop beach, but we recommend starting from km 2 of our route at the GR®11 in the village. The road infrastructure behind the fire station allows you to park your vehicle without any problems. The descent from the monastery via a local trail allows you to discover the village of La Vall de Santa Creu and reach Llança via the cami de ronda along the coast.

Coastal route from Cadaquès to the lighthouse, with views over the Bay of Cadaquès, Port Lligat and Cap de Creus.

The trail is initially mountainous inland, then runs along the coastline, providing access to coves and beaches, some of which belong to the Cap de Creus Natural Park. Panoramic views of Cadaqués and Cap de Creus. Between Cap Norfeu and the beginning of the urbanisation of Canyelles-Amaldrava, the coastal path overlooks the sea with magnificent landscapes. This route can be included in a longer route from Collioure to Roses.

Set off from Montgó Beach for a spectacular circular walk. Follow the GR®92 to Port de l'Escala, with breathtaking views, and return through the narrow streets steeped in history. A walk between sea and heritage.

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.

From Platja de Portbou, an ascent to Coll dels Belitres, a border ridge crossing. Then, after Coll de la Farella, the climb to Torre de Querroig.
