DAY 2

Stage 1: Figueres Sant Pere Pescador

This fascinating stage connects the surrealism of Figueres with the Mediterranean serenity of Sant Pere Pescador. The route unfolds across the Empordà plain, a landscape dominated by crop fields and infinite horizons that invite introspection.


The true heart of the trail beats upon entering the Parc Natural dels Aiguamolls de l’Empordà. Here, the asphalt disappears to give way to paths and wooden walkways that wind through lagoons and reedbeds. It is a sanctuary of biodiversity where silence is only broken by the flapping of storks or the passing of deer.

Finally, following the course of the Fluvià river, you will make your entrance into Sant Pere Pescador after a relatively long but flat and very rewarding journey, in which the sea breeze will have been your faithful companion.

DAY 3

Stage 2: Sant Pere Pescador L’Escala

Today’s stage will be somewhat more relaxed and is an ode to the marine horizon and classical history. This section of the Camí de Ronda across the Bay of Roses is a leisurely yet visually stunning walk.


After leaving behind the vast dune beaches, you will walk with your feet almost in the sand, feeling the Mediterranean breeze in all its splendour until you reach the charming medieval village of Sant Martí d’Empúries.

You should not miss a stroll through the Ruins of Empúries: the path flanks the archaeological site of Empúries where the ancient Greek and Roman walls with the sea as a backdrop offer a mystical experience.

Upon arriving in L’Escala you are welcomed by a town with deep fishing traditions. A walk through its old town is a must and, of course, replenishing your energy by tasting its famous anchovies is essential.

This is a flat stage, bathed in sunshine and full of symbolism, ideal for leisurely enjoying the purest essence of the Costa Brava.

Stage 3: L’Escala L’Estartit

This stage represents the leap towards the most rugged and wild nature of the Costa Brava. Upon leaving L’Escala, the path enters the spectacular Cala Montgó, a crystal-clear bay sheltered from the tramontane wind that serves as a gateway to the Parc Natural del Montgrí.


From here, the trail abandons its flatness and becomes more demanding, rising above imposing limestone cliffs that fall sheer into the Mediterranean, forming small coves such as Cala Farriola.

It is an itinerary of contrasts, where the scent of pine and rosemary accompanies you as you skirt the massif along rocky paths. The effort culminates upon reaching the Cap de la Barra, already in L’Estartit. From this natural balcony, the reward is one of Catalonia’s most iconic views: the Illes Medes emerging from the deep blue directly before your eyes.

DAY 5

Stage 4: L’Estartit Peratallada

Today’s route represents a fascinating change of scenery: we leave behind the salt air of the coast to venture into the heart of the “Empordanet”, where the landscape becomes agricultural, unhurried and deeply medieval.


After leaving L’Estartit and walking inland, the path crosses the fertile plain of the Baix Empordà following the course of the Ter river. The imposing presence of the Castell del Montgrí, a medieval fortress crowning the mountain, will accompany you until you reach the historic town of Torroella de Montgrí.

The inland route will take you to Gualta, a charming small medieval village. Further on, the crowning jewel is your arrival at one of Catalonia’s most beautiful villages. Entering Peratallada is like stepping back in time; its streets carved from living rock, its walls and moat transport you directly to the 10th century. Today’s stretch will have been flat and gentle, perfect for enjoying the peace of the countryside and ending the day with a glass of local wine among centuries-old stone walls.

DAY 6

Stage 5: Peratallada Begur

This legendary path is a journey through the most romantic essence of the Empordà, connecting two of Catalonia’s most spectacular medieval ensembles before reuniting with the sea. Leaving Peratallada, the trail enters an area of gentle reliefs and rural paths that exude tranquillity.


The silhouette of Pals soon appears on the horizon, rising on a hill. It is well worth strolling through its Gothic quarter, which is literally like walking through an open-air museum. From the Josep Pla viewpoint the view of the Empordà plain with the Medes Islands in the background is an image that will be etched in your retinas forever.

The path towards Begur becomes more shadowed and aromatic, crossing dense pine forests that signal the proximity of the coast. The final ascent rewards you with a village, Begur, full of life and famous for its castle and its vibrant Indian Houses.

Today you will walk the Heart of the Costa Brava: from Begur to La Fosca. This is the “crown jewel” of the Girona coastline. This stretch of the Camí de Ronda is an unceasing display of Mediterranean postcards connecting the grandeur of Begur with the authentic maritime character of Palamós.


After descending through the hills of Begur, the path winds between pines and cliffs until reaching Llafranc and a little further on, Calella de Palafrugell. Villages of white façades and wooden boats resting on the sand that are the refuge of the habanera spirit; a route that is pure visual delight.

The final stretch gifts you with tunnels carved into the rock and secret coves before flowing into La Fosca, the iconic beach of Palamós, guarded by the Castle of Sant Esteve.

DAY 8

Stage 7: La Fosca (Palamós) Sant Feliu de Guixols

The seventh stage plays out between luxury and tradition. The route is a display of contrasts that will take you from the vibrant port activity of Palamós to the most exquisite architectural elegance in Sant Feliu de Guixols.


After leaving behind the serenity of La Fosca and rounding the port of Palamós, the path opens onto the wide bay of Sant Antoni de Calonge, a flat and luminous walk where the sea remains constantly at your side.

But the soul of this stage awakens upon entering the Platja d’Aro area. Here, the path becomes “playful”, winding through tunnels carved into the rock and peeking out over turquoise-watered coves such as Cala del Pi, which seem lifted from a postcard. The route culminates in Sant Feliu de Guíxols, a historic maritime city, famous for its majestic monastery and welcoming atmosphere.

DAY 9

Stage 8: Sant Feliu de Guixols Tossa de Mar

The section of the Camí de Ronda between Sant Feliu de Guíxols and Tossa de Mar is, without doubt, one of the most spectacular stretches of the entire Costa Brava. A path with abundant elevation changes and vertiginous cliffs among pine forests that almost touch the sea.


Every step brings its reward and treats you to incredible views. You will discover hidden coves that look like postcards, such as Cala Bona or Cala Pola, ideal for a proper snorkelling dip in their crystal-clear turquoise waters.

Twenty-two kilometres of pure nature, the smell of salt and breathtaking Mediterranean views. If you love adventure, this hike is an absolute must. Bring good footwear and plenty of water!

Stage 9: Tossa de Mar Blanes

The final stage of the Camí de Ronda to Blanes is scenically very rich. This itinerary stands out for its rugged profile, where imposing granite rock cliffs merge majestically with the lushness of the Mediterranean pine forests.


Along the way you encounter coves of singular beauty such as Cala Canyelles and the picturesque Sa Caleta. A stretch with continuous elevation changes and staircases sculpted in stone, but rewarded with exceptional panoramic views of the coastline.

The approach to Blanes offers a unique setting, characterised by the profile of its renowned botanical gardens, such as Marimurtra.

CAMINS DE RONDA COSTA BRAVA

This journey is a sensory experience that unites the genius of Dalí with the serenity of the Mediterranean. Departing from Figueres, the asphalt quickly gives way to the flat paths of the Aiguamolls de l’Empordà. Here, silence is broken only by the wingbeats of migratory birds over the lagoons, creating an oasis of peace before venturing into the heart of Catalan history.

From the Silence of Stone to the Infinite Blue

Heading south, the landscape turns ochre in Peratallada, where the walls and carved stone streets seem frozen in time. After this medieval immersion, the route ascends to the watchtower of Begur, a privileged balcony over the coast. From here, the Camí de Ronda guides us along impossible cliffs and crystal-clear coves, winding through pine trees until reaching the maritime bustle of Palamós.

Finally, the route continues along the rugged cliffs and hidden coves along the stretch of coastline from Tossa de Mar to Blanes

Hidden Coves | Medieval Villages | History and Culture

History between land and sea: The Camin de Ronda at the Costa Brava

The Camin de Ronda was born out of necessity, not pleasure. During the 18th century, the Spanish Crown organised a coastguard corps to curb the smuggling that flourished along this fragmented and difficult-to-monitor coastline. The carabineros — as these agents were called — patrolled on foot, day and night, a path that faithfully followed the edge of the cliffs, peering into every cove, descending to every beach, to leave no corner unexamined.

The path they walked was functional, austere, shaped by the urgency of controlling a territory that the sea made elusive.

The Empordà, the historic region encompassing both the Alt and Baix Empordà, had powerful reasons to tempt smugglers.

Its proximity to the French border, its dozens of hidden coves and the maritime tradition of villages such as Cadaqués, Roses or L’Escala turned this coastal strip into a back door through which textiles, tobacco, spices and everything that tariffs made excessively expensive would circulate.

Local fishermen knew every nook and cranny and frequently collaborated in these illegal trade networks, which supplemented an always precarious economy.

With the 20th century and the decline of organised smuggling, the path lost its original purpose but gained another: first as a communication route between villages previously isolated by the rugged geography, and later as a route of discovery for the first tourists who arrived drawn by the singular light of Cap de Creus. The writer Josep Pla, a son of the Empordà, walked it and described it with his dense yet luminous prose, turning the landscape into literature and the path into a symbol of a collective identity that lives on.

The Costa Brava and the Camin de Ronda: a gem for hikers

The Costa Brava, that stretch of coastline extending from Blanes to the French border at Portbou, is one of the most spectacular landscapes in the entire Mediterranean. Its name says it all: a rugged, wild coast of vertical cliffs that plunge into the sea in shades of ochre and slate, interspersed with turquoise coves that seem plucked from a dream. For hikers, this strip of Catalonia is a premier destination, and the undisputed star of any walking journey is the Camin de Ronda.

A path with history
The Camin de Ronda was not born as a leisure route. During the 18th and 19th centuries, Catalan coastguards patrolled it to monitor smuggling, walking on foot along that irregular border between land and sea. Today, having become one of the most celebrated hiking routes in Spain, it covers approximately 220 kilometres of coastline, though it can be done in sections depending on the walker’s time and fitness level.

The landscape that awaits
To venture onto the Camin de Ronda is to enter a world of constant contrasts. In the Alt Empordà section, between Cap de Creus — the easternmost point of the Iberian Peninsula — and Cadaqués, the tramontane wind sculpts twisted vegetation over volcanic rock, creating an almost lunar landscape. It is the setting that captivated Salvador Dalí and continues to captivate those who walk it slowly. Further south, in the Baix Empordà, the route softens its profile: Calella de Palafrugell, Llafranc and Tamariu offer some of the most photogenic stretches, with calm-watered coves that invite a well-deserved rest.

Practical tips for the hiker
The best time to walk the Camin de Ronda is spring and autumn. In May and June, the Mediterranean vegetation — pines, wild olive trees, rosemary and esparto — is in full bloom and the heat has not yet intensified. In September and October, the golden light of dusk turns every viewpoint into an impossible postcard. Summer, though tempting for the climate, crowds certain popular stretches and the heat can make the climbs demanding under full sun.
Basic equipment is simple: hiking shoes with non-slip soles (paths over wet rock can be treacherous), plenty of water, sun protection and a hat. Many stretches have no shade for kilometres. Signage is generally good — the path is marked with the GR 92 — though it is worth carrying a map or a GPS app such as Wikiloc or Komoot.

More than a path
What makes the Camin de Ronda unique is not just its physical beauty. It is the experience of moving at the rhythm of the sea, hearing the waves breaking beneath your feet, discovering a hidden cove accessible only on foot, or sitting at dusk on a headland with the Mediterranean blazing orange before you. In an increasingly fast-paced world, this path returns to the hiker something essential: the pleasure of going slowly and truly looking.

    Camí de Ronda – Frequently Asked Questions

    What exactly is the Camí de Ronda?

    The Camí de Ronda is a historic network of coastal paths that runs along the Costa Brava, hugging the Mediterranean shoreline. It was originally used by fishermen, smugglers and the civil guard to monitor the coast. Today it is one of the most spectacular hiking routes in Europe, combining cliffs, unspoilt coves, Mediterranean pine forests, fishing villages and natural viewpoints.

    What is the distance of the Camí de Ronda and which sections can be walked?

    The full route covers approximately 220 km, from Blanes (in the south) to Portbou (on the French border). It is divided into stages of between 10 and 22 km per day. The most popular sections are Sant Feliu de Guíxols – Tossa de Mar, Begur – Palamós, and Roses – Cadaqués – Cap de Creus. We offer itineraries of 3, 5, 7 and 10 days, adaptable to the walker’s pace.

    What is the elevation gain and what level of fitness is required?

    The cumulative elevation gain ranges from 300 to 800 positive metres per stage, depending on the section. It is not high mountain terrain, but there are continuous ups and downs via staircases carved into rock, paths with roots and rocky stretches. A moderate level of fitness is required: being able to walk between 4 and 6 hours with a light pack. No technical experience is needed.

    What are the most outstanding places along the route?

    Among the must-sees are Cala Sa Tuna and Aiguablava (Begur), the Sant Sebastià lighthouse, the coves of Castell and Cap Roig (Palamós), Tamariu and Llafranc, the white villages of Cadaqués and Port Lligat (linked to Dalí), the Cap de Creus Natural Park and the monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes.

    Prices and Bookings

    How much does the Camí de Ronda tour cost?

    Prices vary depending on the duration, accommodation level and services. As a reference: the 5-day/4-night package in 3* hotels starts from €690 per person; the 7-day/6-night package from €950. Boutique 4* options exceed €1,300. Private or customised groups are quoted individually.

    First you make a deposit of €150 per person to secure your booking. The company will confirm your reservation within 24 hours after checking availability. The remaining balance must be paid 21 days before the arrival date. If there is no availability, your money is refunded or alternative dates are proposed.

    What is the cancellation policy?

    Cancellations more than 45 days in advance: 100% refund minus administrative fees. Between 45 and 21 days: 30% retained. Between 20 and 7 days: 60% retained. Less than 7 days or no-show: no refund. We recommend taking out cancellation insurance.

    Yes. Groups of 6 or more: 5% discount. Groups of 10 or more: 10%. Children under 12 sharing a room with adults: 25% discount. Bookings confirmed before 31 January: 7% early booking discount.

    Included and Not Included Services

    What services are included in the tour price?

    Included: accommodation in a double room with private bathroom, daily breakfast, luggage transfer between accommodations, detailed route dossier with maps, GPS tracks, 24/7 phone assistance during the tour, and the operator’s civil liability insurance.

    What is not included?

    Not included: flights and transfers to the starting point, lunches and dinners (except in premium packages), drinks, museum or nature reserve entrance fees, tips, personal travel insurance or personal expenses.

    Is accommodation included and what type is it?

    Yes. We work with 3* and 4* hotels, boutique hotels and charming rural houses, all selected for their location near the trail, gastronomic quality and personal service. Clients can choose their preferred category when booking.

    Are meals included?

    Breakfast is always included. Dinner is included only in the “Confort+” and “Gourmet” packages. For lunch, we recommend a picnic or stopping at beach bars and cove restaurants. We offer a prepared picnic option for an additional €15 per person per day.

    Logistics and Transport

    How do I get to the starting point of the tour?

    The most convenient access is via Girona-Costa Brava Airport (30–50 min by car from the coast) or Barcelona-El Prat (1 h 30 min). High-speed trains also serve Figueres and Girona. We arrange private transfers from the airport or train station for a supplement.

    Is luggage transferred between stages?

    Yes, it is included in all our packages. Each morning one suitcase per person (maximum 20 kg) is collected from the accommodation and delivered before 5:00 pm at the next one. You walk only with a light day pack.

    What happens if I cannot finish a stage or need to abandon the route?

    We have a 24/7 phone assistance service. In the event of injury, exhaustion or bad weather, we arrange a taxi or private car transfer to the next accommodation (free in cases of force majeure, at a reduced cost if it is a personal decision).

    Preparation and Equipment

    What basic equipment do I need to bring?

    We recommend: a day pack (20–25 L), a 1.5 L water bottle or hydration flask, a cap and sunglasses, high-protection sunscreen, a lightweight rain jacket, trekking poles (optional), a personal first aid kit, energy snacks, a swimsuit and microfibre towel (the coves invite a dip!).

    What type of footwear is recommended?

    The ideal choice is trail running shoes or low-cut hiking boots with a Vibram sole or equivalent and good grip. The terrain alternates between rock, loose earth, roots and staircases. Avoid heavy high-mountain boots or regular sports trainers.

    What is the best time of year to do the Camí de Ronda?

    The best seasons are spring (April–June) and autumn (September–October), with mild temperatures (18–25 °C), fewer crowds and still-warm sea. July and August are possible but hot and busy. In winter you can walk, but some accommodations close and the days are short.

    Do I need travel insurance?

    It is not obligatory, but we strongly recommend it. It should cover medical assistance, repatriation, cancellation and, preferably, hiking activities. We can offer insurance through our partners from €4.50 per person per day.

    Additional Options and Personalisation

    Can I personalise the itinerary or add extra days?

    Of course. We design tailor-made itineraries: adding or removing stages, choosing hotel category, adjusting the pace (more days with shorter stages), including rest days in specific villages or combining several non-consecutive sections.

    Do you offer complementary activities such as kayaking, snorkelling or gastronomic experiences?

    Yes. Among the optional experiences are: kayaking at the Illes Medes or Cap de Creus, guided snorkelling, DO Empordà wine tasting, Catalan cooking classes, a visit to the Dalí House-Museum in Portlligat and sunset boat trips.

    Can you organise the tour for private groups, couples or families?

    Yes. We operate in both individual and private group formats (families, friends, corporate teams). For families with children we adapt the stages (8–12 km) and add beach stops. Private groups have an exclusive guide available on request.

    GPS Navigation and Technology

    How do I navigate the route? Do I need a GPS?

    The trail is largely signposted with white and red markers (GR-92), but there are sections where signage is sparse or confused with diversions to coves. That is why, in addition to the printed dossier with maps and descriptions, we provide GPS tracks for your mobile phone. No dedicated GPS device is needed.

    Is there mobile coverage throughout the route?

    For most of the route there is acceptable 4G/5G coverage, especially near villages. In some sections of Cap de Creus, isolated coves or dense pine forests the signal is intermittent. We therefore recommend downloading maps and tracks offline before setting out.

    Do you provide GPS tracks or mobile apps?

    Yes. Before the trip you will receive by email the GPX and KML files for each stage, compatible with free apps such as Wikiloc, Komoot, OruxMaps or Gaia GPS. We also send a link to a private Wikiloc collection with notes, photos and points of interest (springs, viewpoints, restaurants). For Premium clients, we offer Garmin GPS watches for hire.


    If you have any additional questions that we have not covered here, please get in touch with our team. We have extensive knowledge of the Rota Vicentina along the Portuguese Algarve.

The imposing presence of the Castell del Montgrí, a medieval fortress crowning the mountain, will accompany you until you reach the historic town of Torroella de Montgrí.
    The inland route will take you to Gualta, a charming small medieval village. Further on, the crowning jewel is your arrival at one of Catalonia's most beautiful villages. Entering Peratallada is like stepping back in time; its streets carved from living rock, its walls and moat transport you directly to the 10th century. Today's stretch will have been flat and gentle, perfect for enjoying the peace of the countryside and ending the day with a glass of local wine among centuries-old stone walls.

    Stage 5: Peratallada Begur

    This legendary path is a journey through the most romantic essence of the Empordà, connecting two of Catalonia's most spectacular medieval ensembles before reuniting with the sea. Leaving Peratallada, the trail enters an area of gentle reliefs and rural paths that exude tranquillity.
    The silhouette of Pals soon appears on the horizon, rising on a hill. It is well worth strolling through its Gothic quarter, which is literally like walking through an open-air museum. From the Josep Pla viewpoint the view of the Empordà plain with the Medes Islands in the background is an image that will be etched in your retinas forever.
    The path towards Begur becomes more shadowed and aromatic, crossing dense pine forests that signal the proximity of the coast. The final ascent rewards you with a village, Begur, full of life and famous for its castle and its vibrant Indian Houses.

    Stage 6: Begur La Fosca (Palamós)

    Today you will walk the Heart of the Costa Brava: from Begur to La Fosca. This is the "crown jewel" of the Girona coastline. This stretch of the Camí de Ronda is an unceasing display of Mediterranean postcards connecting the grandeur of Begur with the authentic maritime character of Palamós.
    After descending through the hills of Begur, the path winds between pines and cliffs until reaching Llafranc and a little further on, Calella de Palafrugell. Villages of white façades and wooden boats resting on the sand that are the refuge of the habanera spirit; a route that is pure visual delight.
    The final stretch gifts you with tunnels carved into the rock and secret coves before flowing into La Fosca, the iconic beach of Palamós, guarded by the Castle of Sant Esteve.

    Stage 7: La Fosca (Palamós) Sant Feliu de Guixols

    The seventh stage plays out between luxury and tradition. The route is a display of contrasts that will take you from the vibrant port activity of Palamós to the most exquisite architectural elegance in Sant Feliu de Guixols.
    After leaving behind the serenity of La Fosca and rounding the port of Palamós, the path opens onto the wide bay of Sant Antoni de Calonge, a flat and luminous walk where the sea remains constantly at your side.
    But the soul of this stage awakens upon entering the Platja d'Aro area. Here, the path becomes "playful", winding through tunnels carved into the rock and peeking out over turquoise-watered coves such as Cala del Pi, which seem lifted from a postcard. The route culminates in Sant Feliu de Guíxols, a historic maritime city, famous for its majestic monastery and welcoming atmosphere.

    Stage 8: Sant Feliu de Guixols Tossa de Mar

    The section of the Camí de Ronda between Sant Feliu de Guíxols and Tossa de Mar is, without doubt, one of the most spectacular stretches of the entire Costa Brava. A path with abundant elevation changes and vertiginous cliffs among pine forests that almost touch the sea.
    Every step brings its reward and treats you to incredible views. You will discover hidden coves that look like postcards, such as Cala Bona or Cala Pola, ideal for a proper snorkelling dip in their crystal-clear turquoise waters.
    Twenty-two kilometres of pure nature, the smell of salt and breathtaking Mediterranean views. If you love adventure, this hike is an absolute must. Bring good footwear and plenty of water!

    Stage 9: Tossa de Mar Blanes

    The final stage of the Camí de Ronda to Blanes is scenically very rich. This itinerary stands out for its rugged profile, where imposing granite rock cliffs merge majestically with the lushness of the Mediterranean pine forests.
    Along the way you encounter coves of singular beauty such as Cala Canyelles and the picturesque Sa Caleta. A stretch with continuous elevation changes and staircases sculpted in stone, but rewarded with exceptional panoramic views of the coastline.
    The approach to Blanes offers a unique setting, characterised by the profile of its renowned botanical gardens, such as Marimurtra.
