make your own way to the capital of the Empordà: Figueres

Introductory call to explain all the details of each stage.

+ Hotel Duran (…or similar – Figueres)


 

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 farmland and endless horizons that invite introspection.


The true heart of the journey beats as you enter the Parc Natural dels Aiguamolls de l’Empordà. Here, the tarmac gives way to paths and wooden boardwalks that wind through lagoons and reedbeds. It is a sanctuary of biodiversity where silence is broken only by the flutter of storks’ wings or the passing of deer.

Finally, following the course of the Fluvià river, you will arrive in Sant Pere Pescador after a relatively long but flat and rewarding walk, with the sea breeze as your faithful companion throughout.

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 but visually striking walk.


After leaving behind the vast virgin 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 visit to the Ruins of Empúries: the path runs alongside the archaeological site of Empúries, where ancient Greek and Roman walls set against the backdrop of the sea offer a truly mystical experience.

On arriving in L’Escala you are welcomed by a town with deep maritime roots. A stroll through its old quarter is a must, and of course you should replenish your energy by sampling its famous anchovies.

This is a flat stage, bathed in sunshine and rich in symbolism, ideal for taking your time and soaking up the purest essence of the Costa Brava.

DAY 4

Stage 3: L’Escala L’Estartit

This stage marks the leap into the most rugged and wild nature of the Costa Brava. Leaving L’Escala behind, the path enters the spectacular Cala Montgó, a bay of crystal-clear waters sheltered from the tramontane wind, which serves as the gateway to the Parc Natural del Montgrí.


From here, the trail abandons flat terrain and becomes more demanding, rising above imposing limestone cliffs that plunge sheer into the Mediterranean, forming small coves such as Cala Farriola or Cala.

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

DAY 5

Stage 4: L’Estartit Peratallada

Today’s route represents a fascinating change of register: we leave the saltiness of the coast behind and head into the heart of the “Empordanet”, where the landscape becomes agricultural, unhurried and profoundly medieval.


After setting off from L’Estartit towards the interior, the path crosses the fertile plain of the Baix Empordà following the course of the Ter river. The imposing silhouette of the Castell del Montgrí, a medieval fortress crowning the hilltop, will accompany you until you reach the historic town of Torroella de Montgrí.

The inland route will take you to Gualta, a charming little medieval village. Further on, the crowning jewel of the day is your arrival at one of Catalonia’s most beautiful villages. To enter Peratallada is to step back in time; its streets carved into the 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 silence of the countryside and ending the day with a glass of local wine surrounded by centuries-old stone walls.

DAY 6

Stage 5: Peratallada Begur

This legendary trail is a journey through the most romantic essence of the Empordà, linking two of Catalonia’s most spectacular medieval settlements before returning to the sea. Leaving Peratallada, the path enters an area of gentle contours and rural tracks that exude tranquillity.


The silhouette of Pals soon appears on the horizon, rising above a hilltop. Its Gothic quarter is well worth exploring — it is literally like walking through an open-air museum. From the Josep Pla viewpoint, the view over the Empordà plain with the Medes Islands in the background is an image that will be etched in your memory forever.

The path towards Begur becomes darker and more fragrant, passing through dense pine forests that herald the proximity of the coast. The final ascent rewards you with a village, Begur, full of life and famous for its castle and its colourful Casas Indianas.

After descending through the hills of Begur, the path winds between pine trees and clifftops 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 spiritual home of the habaneras tradition; a route that is pure visual delight.

The final stretch treats you to tunnels carved into the rock and secret coves before arriving at La Fosca, Palamós’s iconic beach, watched over by the Castle of Sant Esteve.

CAMINS DE RONDA ON THE COSTA BRAVA

This journey is a sensory experience that unites the genius of Dalí with the serenity of the Mediterranean. Setting off from Figueres, the tarmac quickly gives way to the flat paths of the Aiguamolls de l’Empordà. Here, silence is broken only by the flutter of migratory birds over the lagoons, creating an oasis of calm before heading 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 streets carved from living rock seem frozen in time. After this immersion in the medieval, the route climbs to the watchtower of Begur, a privileged balcony over the coast. From here, the Camins de Ronda guides us along impossible clifftops and crystal-clear coves, winding through pine trees until we reach the bustling seafaring energy of Palamós.

Finally, the route turns inland once more in search of the monumental skyline of Girona. Crossing the bridges over the Onyar river and losing yourself in the Jewish Quarter is the perfect finishing touch for a route that traverses, quite literally, the soul of the province.

Hidden Coves | Medieval Villages | History and Culture

History between land and sea: Els Camins de Ronda Costa Brava

Els Camins de Ronda Costa Brava was born out of necessity, not pleasure. During the 18th century, the Spanish Crown organised a coastguard corps to curb the smuggling that thrived along this fragmented and difficult-to-monitor coastline. The carabineros — as these officers were known — patrolled on foot, day and night, along a path that faithfully followed the clifftop edge, peering into every cove, descending to every beach, to leave no corner uninspected.

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 the 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 and L’Escala turned this coastal strip into a back door through which fabrics, tobacco, spices and anything made prohibitively expensive by tariffs would pass.

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 function but gained another: first as a link between villages previously isolated by the rugged geography, and later as a route of discovery for the first tourists drawn by the singular light of Cap de Creus. The writer Josep Pla, a son of the Empordà, walked it and described it in his prose — dense and luminous at the same time — turning the landscape into literature and the path into a symbol of a collective identity that lives on.

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

The Costa Brava, that stretch of coastline running 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 falling to the sea in shades of ochre and slate, alternating with turquoise coves that seem lifted from a dream. For the hiker, this strip of Catalonia is a world-class destination, and the undisputed protagonist of any walking journey here is the Camí de Ronda.

A path with history
The Camí 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 edge between land and sea. Today, having become one of Spain’s most celebrated hiking trails, it covers approximately 220 kilometres of coastline, though it can be walked in stages according to the time and fitness level of the walker.

The landscape that awaits
To set foot on the Camí 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 setting. This is the landscape that fascinated Salvador Dalí and continues to captivate those who walk it slowly. Further south, in the Baix Empordà, the path softens its profile: Calella de Palafrugell, Llafranc and Tamariu offer some of the most photogenic stretches, with calm, sheltered coves that invite a well-earned rest.

Practical tips for hikers
The best time to walk the Camí de Ronda is spring and autumn. In May and June, the Mediterranean vegetation — pines, wild olive trees, rosemary and esparto grass — is in full bloom and the heat has not yet set in. In September and October, the golden light of dusk turns every viewpoint into an impossible postcard. Summer, though tempting for the weather, crowds certain popular stretches and the heat can make the climbs demanding in full sun.
The basic kit is straightforward: a day pack (20–25 L), a 1.5-litre water bottle or canteen, a cap and sunglasses, high-factor sun cream, a lightweight waterproof jacket, trekking poles (optional), a personal first-aid kit, energy snacks, a swimsuit and a microfibre towel (the coves are an irresistible invitation for a dip!). Many sections offer no shade for kilometres at a time. Signage is generally good — the trail 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 Camí de Ronda unique is not only its physical beauty. It is the experience of moving at the rhythm of the sea, listening to the waves breaking beneath your feet, discovering a hidden cove that can only be reached on foot, or sitting at dusk on a headland with the Mediterranean blazing orange before you. In an increasingly fast-paced world, this path gives the hiker something essential back: 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.

    How long is 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 between 300 and 800 positive metres per stage, depending on the section. This is not high-mountain terrain, but there are constant ups and downs via steps cut into rock, root-covered paths and rocky stretches. A moderate level of fitness is required: being able to walk between 4 and 6 hours with a light daypack. No technical experience is needed.

    What are the most outstanding places along the route?

    Must-see highlights include Cala Sa Tuna and Aiguablava (Begur), the Sant Sebastià lighthouse, the coves of Castell and Cap Roig (Palamós), Tamariu and Llafranc, the whitewashed 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 duration, accommodation level and services included. As a guide: the 5-day/4-night package in 3-star hotels starts from €690 per person; the 7-day/6-night package from €950. Boutique 4-star options exceed €1,300. Private or personalised groups are quoted on request.

    How can I book?

    You first 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 availability cannot be confirmed, your deposit will be refunded or alternative dates will be proposed.

    What is the cancellation policy?

    Cancellations more than 45 days in advance: 100% refund minus administration 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 strongly recommend taking out a cancellation insurance policy.

    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 telephone assistance during the tour, and operator public 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-star and 4-star hotels, boutique hotels and charming rural houses, all selected for their proximity to the trail, gastronomic quality and personal service. Guests can choose their preferred category when booking.

    Are meals included?

    Breakfast is always included. Dinner is only included in the “Confort+” and “Gourmet” packages. For lunch, we recommend a picnic or stopping at a beach bar or cove restaurant. 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 minutes by car from the coast) or Barcelona-El Prat Airport (1 hour 30 minutes). High-speed trains also serve Figueres and Girona. We can 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 by 17:00 at the next one. You only need to walk with a light daypack.

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

    We provide a 24/7 telephone assistance service. In the event of injury, exhaustion or bad weather, we arrange a taxi or private car transfer to the next accommodation (free of charge 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 daypack (20–25 L), a 1.5-litre water bottle or canteen, a cap and sunglasses, high-factor sun cream, a lightweight waterproof jacket, trekking poles (optional), a personal first-aid kit, energy snacks, a swimsuit and a microfibre towel (the coves are an irresistible invitation for 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 steps. Avoid heavy high-mountain boots or regular sports trainers.

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

    The best times are spring (April–June) and autumn (September–October), with mild temperatures (18–25 °C), fewer crowds and a still-warm sea. July and August are possible but hot and busy. In winter walking is feasible, but some accommodation closes and the days are shorter.

    Do I need travel insurance?

    It is not mandatory, but we strongly recommend it. The policy 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 Customisation

    Can I customise the itinerary or add extra days?

    Of course. We design bespoke 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. Optional experiences include: kayaking at the Illes Medes or Cap de Creus, guided snorkelling, DO Empordà wine tasting, Catalan cookery 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 both as individual and private group departures (families, friends, corporate teams). For families with children we adapt the stages (8–12 km) and include beach stops. Private groups can have an exclusive guide upon request.

    GPS Navigation and Technology

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

    The trail is largely waymarked with red and white markers (GR-92), though there are sections where signage is sparse or where side paths to coves can cause confusion. For this reason, in addition to the printed dossier with maps and descriptions, we provide GPS tracks for your mobile phone. A dedicated GPS device is not required.

    Is there mobile coverage throughout the route?

    For most of the route, 4G/5G coverage is acceptable, particularly in areas close to villages. In some sections of Cap de Creus, isolated coves or dense pine forests the signal may be 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 the GPX and KML files for each stage by email, 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 (water sources, viewpoints, restaurants). For Premium clients, we offer Garmin GPS watches for hire.


    If you have any additional questions that we have not addressed here, please do not hesitate to contact our team. We have extensive knowledge of the Rota Vicentina through the Portuguese Algarve.

    Difficulty level

    To successfully complete the 6 stages of the Camí de Ronda Costa Brava, a good level of physical fitness is required. Depending on the time of year, temperatures can be extreme (heat and/or cold). It is therefore essential to always carry suitable warm clothing that can be removed in layers as needed. The use of trekking poles is highly recommended.


    Trails

    The Camí de Ronda Costa Brava is a certified trail network compliant with European standards.


    We recommend

    Appropriate hiking clothing and sturdy footwear. During the routes, it is necessary to carry food and sufficient water, as well as sun protection, a cap, a lightweight windproof jacket, and in the winter months to take warm clothing into account.


    Luggage transfer

    We take care of transferring luggage from one accommodation to the next, so during the routes you only need to carry a daypack with the essentials for the day. For the entire trip, the most practical option is a single suitcase weighing no more than 20 kg.
