Overview

Itinerary

Itinerary for Walking Spain’s Wild Coast

Day 1

Arrival

Overnight Location - Hotel in Calella | Distance - None | Meals - None

To begin your tour, you’ll be picked up from the bus station in Calella de Palafrugell and taken to your hotel. This little town exudes charm, with an old town centre that still captures the spirit of authentic Spanish coastal life. Spend some time walking the narrow streets, checking out the shops, or enjoying the nearby beaches.

Day 2

Pines and Creeks Loop Walk

Overnight Location - Hotel in Calella | Distance - 10km or 15km | Meals - Breakfast

After breakfast, it’s time to start walking through the Natural Area of Castell-Cap Roig, one of the most unspoiled natural regions on the Costa Brava. The wild natural area is full of trees and punctuated by flowing streams and creeks, making it irresistibly pretty. The further you go along the coast, the more scenic coves and magazine-worthy beaches you’ll find.

Continue through the olive groves and oceanside pine trees back to Calella. If you’d prefer a shorter route, you can do today’s walk as an out-and-back.

Day 3

Mountain Coastline to Begur

Overnight Location - Hotel in Begur | Distance - 14km | Meals - Breakfast

This morning, begin your walk into the Mediterranean forest, passing more lovely coves with excellent sea views. The villages of Llafranc and Tamariu are along your route, so you’re welcome to stop in for lunch or a cold drink.

You’ll end your walk in Begur, a village with a friendly, energetic atmosphere.

Day 4

Cala Montjoi and Cadaqués

Distance - 10km | Meals - Breakfast

From Begur you are walking inland through pine forest towards the medieval village of
Pals, which is well worth a visit. The path leaves the old town of Pals and crosses the
fields of sunflowers, passing through tiny medieval villages until you arrive at
Peratallada, one of the most beautiful villages of this region. After a visit of the town,
our transfer service will pick you up and takes you to the village of Cadaques, where
you will spend the night.

Overnight Location: Hotel in Cadaqués

Day 5

Free Day in Cadaqués

Overnight Location - Hotel in Cadaqués | Distance - Flexible | Meals - Breakfast

You can’t just fly in and fly out of Cadaqués, so today is a free day to enjoy it as you please. Visit the stunning 17th-century church, pop by Salvador Dali’s house, or walk to Port Lligat.

If you want to go a bit further, you can walk to the Cap de Creus lighthouse, an iconic spot on the far eastern reaches of the Iberian Peninsula.

Day 6

Cap de Creus to Port de la Selva

Overnight Location - Hotel in Port de la Selva | Distance - 12km | Meals - Breakfast

Saying goodbye to Cadaqués, you’ll walk north through Cap de Creus once again. The path offers fantastic views of the Catalonian countryside.

You’ll finish in Port de la Selva, a town renowned for its scenery. The mountains and beaches meet here, and this area has been settled since 974. It retains much of its original charm, so make sure to spend some time roaming around.

Day 7

Sant Pere de Rodes

Overnight Location - Hotel in Llançà | Distance - 6km or 14km | Meals - Breakfast

Today, travel southwest to the Sant Pere de Rodes cloister, dating to the first century. Christians regard this monastery as one of the most important in Spain, but everyone can appreciate its beauty and architecture. From here, you can choose to continue up to the ruins of Castell de Sant Salvador, which offer you a great view over the Albera Mountains, Cap de Creus, the Bay of Roses, and the Pyrenees beyond.

You’ll end your walk in the village of Llançà, where you can enjoy dinner and toast to your completed walk.

Day 8

Tour Concludes

Overnight Location - None | Distance - None | Meals - Breakfast

What a week it’s been! If you don’t think you’ll be ready to leave, you can pre-book additional days. Otherwise, it’s off to the airport to depart.

How hard is the Walking Spain’s Wild Coast tour?

Do I need a visa to travel to Spain?

Check with your local country about visa requirements. You could also try this website, though you should verify with your government.

I’ve never been on a self-guided trip! How does it work?

Self-guided travelling is not difficult! For many, it is a preferred type of travel, since you are in charge of your own time and pace. You are provided with all the information you’ll need to follow the route each day and often have access to phone support or other kinds of assistance. However, self-guided travelling requires good navigation skills and those who don’t feel confident in unknown places should consider booking guided tours.

Is the Walking Spain’s Wild Coast tour guided?

Recent 10Adventures Reviews

I’ve been using 10Adventures route guides for a while, but had never booked a tour. My wife and I booked a self-guided hike in Greece and were so impressed with how we were able navigate the route without a guide with the detailed and easy to follow itinerary. We enjoy travelling independently, and 10Adventures made that happen.

Stephen L.

I was going through a tough time and really needed a getaway so I decided to book a tour through 10Adventures. My trip to Peru changed my life in so many positive and eye-opening ways. I am so thankful for the kind, empathetic team at 10Adventures.

Melinda S.

I’ve adventured around a lot of Canada and the US, but I’ve always wanted to explore other parts of the world. I felt a bit scared before booking my trip to Israel, but my conversations with the team at 10Adventures helped ease any worry. I can’t wait to explore more of the world!

Lina K.

Travel companies have had to go through a lot during the pandemic but 10Adventures were super flexible and accommodating nonetheless. I had to cancel my tour in France due to the pandemic. 10Adventures was great and let me reschedule for a later date!

Gabriela H.

My wife Sarah and I had a great experience booking our 7-day cycling trip through Portugal via 10Adventures. The communication between us and Nadine leading up the trip was top-notch!

Mikael V.

Communicating with 10Adventures feels like talking with a family-run business. I love to explore and travel, and exploring with the comfort of knowing I can talk to the team at 10Adventures with almost immediate feedback helps to ease any stress that comes with adventuring!

Alexandra D.

Whenever I’m looking for my next adventure 10Adventures never fails. Their routes all over England are my main go to for exploring and I have only had great experiences booking both guided and self-guided trips in Europe and South America with them. I am looking into Africa next.

Eric S.

I tend to have a lot of questions before travelling and was so happy to find that the team at 10Adventures responded to every single one of my inquiries in a timely fashion. I was never left waiting and waiting for a response. This was much appreciated!

Valeria R.

I have horrible dietary issues making it super hard to book a pre-planned trip sometimes, but the communication through 10Adventures helped me navigate this situation! I am so grateful for all of their help. I cant wait to book with them again!

Isabella N.

I just got back from backpacking in the Sierra Nevada, and WOW. What an unreal journey! The alpine meadows, waterfalls, and the lakeside camping spot were memorable highlights! I wonder what other tours 10Adventures has to offer. That one went so well that I am now convinced I need to book another!

Erika S.

I'm not a big fan of traveling because of my fear of flying, but my girlfriend convinced me to go on the Aurora Borealis Tour in the Yukon. I will never forget the mesmerizing northern lights. Such a romantic (and cold) getaway. I would highly recommend it.

Robert D.

Wow! I am so happy with the experience I had with booking through 10Adventures for my tour in Italy! I worked with Nadine and she was super easy-going and helpful when it came to tweaking the itinerary provided on the website. 10/10 would book through 10Adventures again.

Monica L.
