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.

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!

This loop starting from Sa Riera initially runs through woodland and leads to the pretty site of Torre de Mas d'en Pinc at the entrance to Begur. You quickly cross the eastern residential areas before rejoining the Cami de Ronda. This trail runs along a balcony offering magnificent views and leads to Cala Sa Punta, then to Cala Aiguafreda, two discreet and idyllic spots for swimming in the summer. The final section also offers many other opportunities for swimming from the easily accessible rocks along the coast. Despite the distance, the real difficulty of this hike should not be underestimated, as it can be tricky to find your way due to the large number of unmarked paths and several very steep ascents and descents that will leave you breathless and your legs aching.

This double circular route, shaped like a figure of eight, first takes you into the hinterland, through a beautiful wooded area, before reaching the outskirts of the seaside resort of Llafranc. The return journey follows the magnificent Cami de Ronda, a coastal path running along the cliffs offering exceptional sea views, whilst passing numerous coves—some more secluded than others—which are perfect for a swim in the summer months. Finally, the small village of Tamariu offers a welcome, peaceful respite before the final, much more demanding stretch of the hike, which follows the old route of the Cami de Ronda as close as possible to the coast. This section is more rugged and far less frequented, but the beauty of the landscape quickly makes you forget the extra effort required, for which you’ll need to save your energy.

A short walk from Palafrugell to the beach, avoiding the direct route (which is shorter but less pleasant). Easy to access, it allows you to explore the area a little more.

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.

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.

This hike consists of two distinct sections. The first, inland, winds its way through magnificent woodland of pine, olive and cork oak trees to take us to the outskirts of the beautiful seaside resort of Calella de Palafrugell, near the Cap Roig Botanical Garden. The return journey follows the coastal path (Cami de Ronda), passing a multitude of small rocky coves and tiny sandy beaches, all tempting in the summer months. An exceptional route thanks to the beauty of the surroundings and the ‘end-of-the-world’ atmosphere it exudes. However, do not underestimate the physical effort required to tackle the numerous ascents and descents, some of which are very steep, as well as the steps that can sometimes disrupt your rhythm.

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.

Starting from Plaça Catalunya by the sea in Roses, this short walk takes you past menhirs and dolmens on the hills above Roses, offering magnificent views of the bay and the hinterland. Walking through Roses allows you to pass by numerous shops and restaurants.

The visit to the Cap Roig botanical garden is just an excuse, as the views along this coastal path are splendid and alone make this hike worthwhile. The many fine sandy beaches nestled in the coves, the typical fishermen's houses and the various forests you pass through are remarkable.

The Ruta dels Gégants Bosc in Romanya de la Selva offers a short walk that allows you to discover both magnificent cork oaks and megalithic monuments.

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.

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.

This hike starting from Cadaqués leads to Cap de Creus, avoiding the busy road that leads there. This headland is notable for being the easternmost point of the Iberian Peninsula and offers a unique, rugged landscape, with rocks of sometimes strange shapes, battered by wind and rain, bearing witness to the force of erosion. The return journey follows the "Cami Antic", a delightful winding path lined with dry stone walls, which has changed very little since the days when it was the only access route to the cape. If you wish, you can round off the day by visiting Salvador Dalí’s house in Port Lligat, located less than two kilometres from the starting point.
