Sa Punta and Cala Aiguafreda via the Cami de Ronda
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.
Aiguablava – Llafranc and return via the Cami de Ronda
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.

Montjoi
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.
Palamós – Calella de Palafrugell, returning via the coastal path
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.
Cap de Norfeu
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.
