From Sant Feliu to S'Agaró

The trip starts at Sant Feliu de Guíxols, at the Jonca cove, and goes up to Sant Pol beach along a land­scape of high cliffs and small coves. The sec­ond part of the road, from Sant Pol to sa Conca, passes through the lux­ury res­i­den­tial es­tate of s'Agaró, built at the be­gin­ning of the 20th cen­tury and which boasts mod­ernist houses near beau­ti­ful coves sur­rounded by cliffs and rocks. In all, the coast­line route is about a four-kilo­me­tre walk.

From Palamós to Castell

On the way out from the Pedró beach in Palamós, the coastal path heads North to­wards the Mar­garida cove, as far as La Fosca beach. At this point vis­i­tors can enjoy some spec­tac­u­lar land­scape views of the Formigues is­lands and the re­mains of the Sant Es­teve de la Fosca cas­tle. A few steps fur­ther on, there is the beau­ti­ful s'Alguer cove, only a few min­utes away from the Castell beach, an un­spoilt cor­ner saved from the urban spec­u­la­tion in the 1994 ref­er­en­dum.

From Calella to Tamariu

About seven kilo­me­tres sep­a­rate the cen­tres of Calella and Tamariu, which are part of Palafrugell county. The two-hour walk re­veals a land­scape sur­prises, with coves, beaches, cliffs and the Sant Se­bastià light­house, which is halfway be­tween the two towns The start­ing point is Portbò cove in Calella de Palafrugell.

The coastal path leads to Llafranc, from where you can go up to the Sant Se­bastià light­house. A stop at Romaboia is a must, from where you can enjoy spec­tac­u­lar views of the 160-metre high Sant Se­bastià moun­tain. The coast­line con­tin­ues north­wards to the Pe­drosa cove. Right after that, is Tamariu, a fish­ing vil­lage that has man­aged to keep most of it charm in­tact.
