Monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes from Llança Cau del Llop beach

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.

We set off at 8.30 am from point 1 (Fire Station), which meant we could make the climb up to the monastery in the shade of the hill – a real bonus in the heat – so we suggest following the trail in this direction for an early start.
The path is well signposted, except in the village of PÜIG DE VAL, where it’s worth noting that after the sign for the coastal walk, you should take the first alleyway on the right, and also that when you reach the road, you should head up the left-hand side to the campsite to join the coastal walk.

A lovely, varied walk, with plenty of prickly pears at this time of year.
The descent from the monastery was well signposted and marked; I didn’t have any problems myself.
As an added bonus, from the monastery you can climb up to the CASTELL de SANT SALVADOR de SAVERDERA

The route from Port de la Selva to the monastery at Rodes is well signposted (part of the Camino de Santiago); however, from the monastery to Llanca, the signposting is faulty or has been removed. As a result, at the end of the path to Llanca, you find yourself on the main road because the path ends there.......
Signposting needs reviewing
