From rugged Pyrenees to the azure Costa Brava
Are you looking for the perfect balance between physical activity, breathtaking nature, and refined Catalan gastronomy? Whether you prefer hiking boots or bicycle pedals, Catalonia offers a diversity you won't find anywhere else. Join us as we explore three of our most special journeys: from historic smuggling routes on the coast to the pristine peaks of the Pyrenees.
Walking along the Costa Brava, in the footsteps of Smugglers
Imagine the scent of pine trees and salty sea air as you wander along narrow paths with the deep blue Mediterranean by your side. During this 7-day individual self-guided walking holiday, you will discover the hidden gems of the Costa Brava.
A highlight of this trip is the "Camí de Ronda". This iconic coastal path has a thrilling past; it was once used by local authorities to combat the smuggling of cigarettes and alcohol in the numerous secluded creeks favored by contraband traders. Today, however, it offers peace, tranquility, and spectacular panoramas.
Your journey starts in elegant S’Agaró at Hotel S’Agaró and takes you through Palamós to the dreamlike white villages of Calella de Palafrugell and Llafranc. The trip concludes in the picturesque town of Begur, where you’ll stay two nights at the Hotel & Spa Classic.
You will stay in charming 3 and 4-star hotels. To ensure you recover from your walks, the package includes dinner on three evenings.
Don't miss the chance to have a drink or a long lunch in the breathtaking villages of Llafranc and Tamariu along the way.
Hiking in the Catalan Pyrenees
For those who prefer the heights, the Eastern Catalan Pyrenees offer a landscape that shifts with every valley and mountain pass. This hike immerses you in natural beauty and the strong character of villages where time seems to have stood still.
The route connects charming villages like Camprodon, Molló, and Setcases—places known for their well-preserved traditional stone architecture. You will traverse beech and oak forests, alpine meadows, and ancient shepherd paths that have linked these valleys for centuries.
The Terrain is primarily mountainous with sections of shaded forest paths, this route is perfect for hikers in good physical condition. While some climbs are demanding, you are rewarded with a deep connection to rural Pyrenean life and excellent local cuisine.
Tip: Stay an extra night and take the mountain train to Vall de Núria. This 40-minute rail journey to 2,000 meters above sea level offers panoramic views that are simply unforgettable.
Biking from the Mountains to the Sea
Can't choose between the mountains and the coast? Our 7-day cycling holiday is the ideal solution. This tour takes you from the picturesque Pyrenees through volcanic landscapes to the golden shores of the Costa Brava.
Experience the unspoiled beauty of the Pyrenees before discovering the Garrotxa volcanic zone. Be mesmerized by the relaxing trails and verdant valleys sculpted by ancient volcanoes.
Your journey continues to Girona, a city famous for its rich history, charming cobblestone streets, and vibrant culture. We highly recommend a free day here to explore the ancient walls and historic landmarks.
To conclude your tour, you will cycle to the Costa Brava for a relaxing stay at Hotel Costa Brava—the perfect place to reflect on your remarkable escapade.
