In the amazing Costa Brava, we find the wonderful "Caminos de Ronda" (round roads). These roads are characterized by the mixture of their incredible beaches of crystalline waters with the green of the pines that surround the beaches.
There are several walking paths that surround the entire Costa Brava, from Blanes to Portbou and there are different durations and intensity, depending on what you are looking for.
Here are several easy access roads, so you can also enjoy them with your family.
In the magnificent tourist town of Lloret de Mar, there is a wonderful Camino de Ronda.
It starts at the beautiful and fishing beach of Sa Caleta, located at the bottom of the Castle d'en Plaja, at the end of the beach of Lloret de Mar. We start around the Castle to the Cala dels Frares, a beach with a small islet on the water, perfect for watching the sunset and snorkeling. We continue up some steep stairs that will take us to the top of the cliffs, from where we can enjoy panoramic sea views, until we reach the small beach of Cala Trons, where we can relax and take a bath.
It lasts 2 km - 45 minutes approx.

Camino de ronda from S’Agaró to Playa de Aro
This is one of the most beautiful and easily accessible roads of the Caminos de ronda of the Costa Brava. It starts at the extensive beach of Sant Pol, in Sant Feliu de Guíxols.
We will find beautiful beaches along the way, such as Cala Jonca, or Cala del Molí, where there is a via ferrata between cliffs. Cala Ametller and Cala Maset are two small beaches of turquoise waters, where you can take advantage to cool off during the tour. Between Cala Pedrosa and the last beach of Sa Conca, we will find one of the most beautiful viewpoints of the Costa Brava, the S’Agaró viewpoint. Another beautiful viewpoint is that of Punta d’en Pau.
The road of this section is very well conditioned and is quite wide, ideal for children.
It lasts 6.5 km - 1 hour approx.
We start from Cala Sa Tuna of Begur, which has parking, until you reach the beautiful beach of Pals.
This road is quite easy although there are some stairs and you must walk a few meters on asphalt.
Throughout the tour we will walk through magnificent landscapes surrounded by vegetation, with spectacular sea views and the Medes Islands, also passing through the beautiful beaches of Aiguafreda, Sa Riera and bordering, on top of the spectacular illa roja, to end in the beach of Racó de Pals.
It lasts 8 km - 2 hours approx.
This Camino de Ronda that connects Calella de Palafrugell, with the coastal town of Llafranc, is one of the simplest and most suitable for everyone. It is a wide path, where you will enjoy the green pines and the blue sea, giving you one of the most beautiful images of this area.
We recommend starting the route crossing the arches of Cala Port Bo in Calella de Palafrugell, to reach Canadell beach, inside the town or around the coast. Then you will reach some stairs that will take you to the coastal town of Llafranc, an essential visit to the area.
It lasts 1.5 km - 20 minutes approx.
Another option to extend the route is to continue to the Lighthouse of Sant Sebastiá, a journey of 30 minutes approx., from which you will enjoy magnificent views of the Costa Brava.
We recommend you also visit the town of Calella de Palafrugell, which preserves its past and typical marine charm in the old town, with beautiful white houses, narrow streets and boats resting in the sand.
Cadaqués stands out for being one of the most beautiful villages in Catalonia, and has some of the best Caminos de Ronda of the Costa Brava, with totally wild and virgin stretches, with many hidden beaches.
The old road that goes from Cadaqués to the Cap de Creus Lighthouse, due to its Natural Park, is a marvel of 8 kilometers that ends in one of the best viewpoints in Catalonia, next to the lighthouse.
The other Camino de Ronda will take you to the spectacular Cala Nans Lighthouse, leaving by the southern end of Cadaqués. The journey, about 4 kilometers, you can start by crossing the beautiful promenade of the town to Sa Conca beach. From there begins a steep climb that will allow you to enjoy the best panoramic view of the white houses of Cadaqués. Once up, the road continues until leaving the residential area to approach the coast of steep cliffs and hidden beaches. The last section that will take you to the lighthouse, is simply spectacular, in which the Sa Sabolla beach and the views from the Cala Nans Lighthouse stand out.
You can also enjoy places like the Salvador Dalí house-museum in Port Lligat, and solitary beaches such as Cala Jugadora and Cala Bona.
