Coastal Adventures on the Camino de Ronda

As the afternoon sun casts its golden glow over the Costa Brava, embark on a thrilling adventure along the famous coastal trail, El Camino de Ronda. This small group tour begins at 8:30 AM, offering a full day of kayaking and lagoon dipping. The trail leads you to a secluded beach in Sant Pol de S’Agaró, where the crystal-clear waters beckon for exploration.

Kayak along the cliffs, visit hidden caves, and discover secluded bays with gin-clear lagoons. The ability to swim is a must, as the adventure includes snorkeling and cliff jumping into the Mediterranean Sea. With the weather remaining warm and the UV index high, sunscreen is essential for this exhilarating outdoor experience. After kayaking, enjoy free time to savor a delicious seafood paella at a local restaurant or relax on the beach.

“Great Day at Costa Brava!! - We had such a great day on this tour! The views were gorgeous, the kayak was super fun, cliff jumping was exciting, and the time on our own to walk the area and eat lunch was wonderful.” (Reviewed at: 2024-09-18)

Embrace the Evening in Calella de Palafrugell

As the day winds down, head to the picturesque fishing village of Calella de Palafrugell. With two hours of free time, you can unwind on the beach, swim in the pristine waters, or explore the charming town. The evening sees a return to overcast conditions, but the mild winds and comfortable temperatures make it an ideal time for a leisurely walk along the promenade.

Savor a meal at a traditional seaside restaurant or simply sip a drink by the sea as you soak in the tranquil ambiance of this idyllic setting. The combination of medieval history and coastal beauty makes this weekend in Girona a truly unforgettable experience.

“Great time great guide - Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. The cities are impressive and their history. Calella with its beach is the best place. I would definitely repeat.” (Reviewed at: 2025-03-28)
