COSTA BRAVA: CADAQUES TO LLAFRANC

This beautiful Catalan coastal path in Spain starts in the shadow of the last foothills of the majestic Pyrenees mountains before heading into the Costa Brava . The coastal path passes through a variety of landscapes and sites as you alternate between hilly days with pretty rocky inlets, and easier days passing through bays with lots of wildlife interest. Your walking trail following the Mediterranean coast starts in Cadaques, a beautiful small historic fishing port made from white-washed houses nestling at the base of green hills. Our Pyrenees Coastal Trail walking holiday between France and Spain ends in Cadaques and so the two self-guided walking holidays can be undertaken together or one after the other as a continuous linear walking trail. Your first day passes around the rocky peninsulas and inlets of Cap de Creus and Cap de Norfeu. Secluded rocky bays nestle beneath picturesque headlands which offer great views across the clear blue sea. You’ll then walk around the Bay of Roses, passing the Aiguamolis Natural Park. After visiting the ruins of the ancient Greek town of Ampurias dating from 575BC you’ll pass around another headland above the sea with typical Mediterranean vegetation. Later in the week, you’ll get to explore the medieval village of Pals before climbing onto the wooded dunes known as the “mountains” of Begur. Further rocky headlands and bays lead you to the pretty bay of Llafranc. This holiday is an ideal spring or autumn break. The Mediterranean sea keeps the Catalan coast pleasantly warm in the Spring and Autumn. Holiday Profile .
