Three days of hiking, from Torroella de Montgrí to Palamós, passing through Begur and Calella de Palafrugell, in a
unique landscape and discovering
two Iberian treasures, right in the heart of the Costa Brava: the town of Castell, an unspoilt beach in Palamós, and the strategic site of Sant Sebastià de la Guarda in Palafrugell.
TORROELLA DE MONTGRÍ – BEGUR (14 KM)On the first day, leave
Torroella de Montgrí inland, and head for the long beach, the
Platja de Pals, and then continue onwards towards
Begur. Along the way you will find numerous coves with
crystal-clear blue water. You could spend the night in Begur.
BEGUR – CALELLA DE PALAFRUGELL (14 KM)On the second day you will be walking through
Mediterranean woods and you'll cross through unspoilt little coves, and walk along paths with
magnificent views over the Mediterranean sea, as well as visiting charming towns such as,
Tamariu, Llafranc and
Calella de
Palafrugell, an enchanting fishing village where you can spend the night.
During your hike you can visit the
Iberian settlement of Sant Sebastià de la Guarda in Palafrugell, located in a very privileged position on the top of the mountain with
cliffs overlooking the sea, and with one of the best views of the Costa Brava. You can visit a 15th-century lookout tower, an
18th-century hermitage and hospice and a 19th-century lighthouse.
CALELLA DE PALAFRUGELL – PALAMÓS (12 KM)The route to follow on the third day is
one of the most spectacular ones in the southern section of the Camí de Ronda. You will pass by
small coves, an unspoilt beach of incompatible beauty,
Mediterranean pine and oak woods, and olive orchards. The route takes you to
Palamós, with its fully-functioning fishing port, and a fish auction that is open every day of week for those in the trade.
During the course of this day you will have the opportunity of visiting the
Iberian settlement of Castell, in Palamós, which was occupied from the sixth century BCE until the Roman period. It is located in a place with magnificent views over one of the
last unspoilt beaches of the Costa Brava.
