Below are samples of the walks you’ll be doing on your Catalonian walking holiday. We do change our walks on a regular basis, sometimes because we find new even more exciting routes, sometimes due to the weather conditions, for example if there is a north wind, one of our walks up or along a south facing slope is far more enjoyable.
Day-by-day itinerary
Day 1: Arrival. Arrival at Girona Airport, where you will be transferred to your accommodation. Once settled in you will have an orientation tour and an introduction to the history of village
Day 2: Cap de Norfeu 6 hours. Ascent 280m. Today will start with one of the most wonderful coastal walks in the region. This is a beautiful trail that we believe fulfils every walker’s hopes and dreams. This stunning coastal walk starts at Cala Monjoi and traverses the coastal slopes to Cala Joncols. We make an excursion on the way to the Cap de Norfeu, a rocky promontory reaching far into the sea.
Day 3: Sant Quirze de Colera 6 hours. Ascent 700m. Today we have an outstanding mountain and valley walk around the cloister of Sant Quirze de Colera. This Romanesque cloister is situated in a broad valley basin where the waters of numerous mountain streams collect. This circular walk along the ridge between Coll del Teixo and the Coll de Banyuls shows the many differing features of this section of the Serra de I’Albera nature reserve, and offers outstanding sweeping views to as far as the Canigou Massif.
Day 4: The Zona Volcanica 6 hours. Ascent 400m. Today we head inland towards the Pyrenees. Only a few kilometers from the central axis of the Pyrenees, our walk today takes us around a geological curiosity, a volcanic area with numerous volcanic domes, in the excellently preserved natural park “Zona Volcanica de la Garrotxa”. The Garrotxa National park is one of the highlights of inland Catalonia.
Day 5: Rest day. Today you can have an optional rest day, relax around the village of Castelló d`Empuriés or explore on your own the surrounding countryside. For those wanting something just a little different maybe you can try a tandem skydive! Our guide is also an instructor.
Day 6: Punta del Cap de Creus 5.5 hours. Ascent 150m. Today another glorious hike. A fantastic walk along an old trail from Cadaques to the lighthouse located on the easternmost point of the Iberian Peninsula, the Cap de Creus. Most tourists drive there and miss out on the austere beauty of the scenic seaboard and its rich variety of flora. We’ll arrive at the absolute tip of the Punta del Cap de Creus, with nothing left but the open sea in front and the fantastic formations of the ravaged cliffs behind.
Day 7: Monestir Sant Pere de Rodes 4.5 hours. Ascent 680m. Today a fabulous last walk before your departure tomorrow. Beautiful flowers and bewitching views over the northern Cap de Creus await you. We start in the village of El Port de la Selva and make our way along a lovely trail which offers numerous opportunities for fantastic views of the coast, cliffs and mountains of the Northern Cap de Creus. We arrive at the spectacular Monestir Sant Pere de Rodes, then make our way up to the Castell de Sant Salvador de Verderra with its beautiful views over the bay of Roses.
Day 8: Departure. Today after breakfast we shall arrange transfers back to Girona airport. Say goodbye to your new friends and start your trip home.
