Why this route? You’ll walk along the most photogenic part of the Camí de Ronda: elegant promenades, sheltered rocky coves, quiet pine-lined paths, and the fishing village atmosphere of Baix Empordà.
The Camí de Ronda is the historic coastal path of the Costa Brava. It was once used by the coast guard and for anti-smuggling patrols; today, it is a perfectly marked hiking trail with stairs, boardwalks, and rocky paths connecting the coves. The entire route runs from Blanes to Portbou (approx. 200 km).
The route from S’Agaró to Begur is famous for its variety: elegant Art Deco villas, surprisingly quiet calas (small coves), scenic overlooks, and villages with authentic Catalan charm.
Check in at Hotel S’Agaró (half-board). Stroll along the stately Passeig de Ronda, past 20th-century villas and lookouts overlooking small coves. The sunset here is a lovely prelude.
Meals: Breakfast included.
Tip: Take a short warm-up walk along the coastal path between Sant Pol and Sa Conca.
Follow the path toward Palamós, a well-known fishing port (Baix Empordà). If the season and catch allow, be sure to try the famous Palamós shrimp. Visit the fishing museum and (if they’ve been out to sea) the fish auction around 5:00–6:00 p.m.

Distance: approx. 12–15 km
Difficulty: easy/medium (stairs, partly rocky).
Note: When the sea is rough, some sections may be slippery; walking sticks are helpful.
The path winds its way past coves and pine trees to Calella de Palafrugell, with its whitewashed houses, colorful fishing boats, and that same old harbor atmosphere. Historically, cork from the surrounding area was exported from here.
Overnight stay: Hotel Sant Roc (bed and breakfast). Terrace with ocean view; Mediterranean cuisine (reservations accepted).
