Join us on the most beautiful coastal trails on La Costa Brava and create memories you cannot forget. We will walk along the historic and ancient path, La Camí de Ronda. This experience is a mixture of exploration, adventure, history and culture. The excursion includes a moderate 5km coastal soft hike through enchanting coves, dramatic seaside cliffs, pine forests and one of Catalunya's most affluent neighborhoods. Throughout, we will stop for breaks to cool off and snorkel in the Mediterranean sea, ending it all with a tasty meal and refreshing drinks at one of the local restaurants. Heading north to Costa Brava by private air-conditioned van, we will arrive in the heart of La Costa Brava, surrounded by protected beautiful pine-forested sea cliffs. Parts of the 'Camí Ronda' go through narrow paths adapted for trekkers and walkers, which ascends and descends several times. On some occasions we also walk through sea promenades and beaches, natural and man-made stairs and flat paved paths. On our side we will be having stunning views of the Costa Brava Mediterranean sea, with its unique turquoise clear waters. We will go through pine forests and a protected coastal area which includes the marine reserve, perfect for refreshing ourselves by snorkeling, swimming and of course a couple of safe, not too high cliff jumps (ask more about these if you need) This trail is easy and fun for beginners, however, you still need to be able to walk up rugged sloped paths. Upon reaching our final stop, we'll sit down together in a local restaurant for a delicious 'well deserved' local meal. We have several routes in La Costa Brava, especially designed so that you can make the most of the charms of the Costa Brava but trying to adapt to most levels. Thus to say, it's not a fullon hiking day. This is also not a cliff diving or snorkeling tour per say, they are just 2 refreshing and adventurous small parts of this tour. Don't worry if you're joining us in the cooler months – we'll swap out water activities for more land-based exploring.
