Prices
Highlights
Walk the wildest coastline of Spain, where countless treasures wait to be found
Spain’s Catalonian coast is a wild, beautiful place. From teeming pine and olive forests to jewel-like coves on the Mediterranean coastline, this region is a walker’s paradise. Soak up the best of Catalonia on the Walking Spain’s Wild Coast tour.
Trekking along the perfect shoreline, through the cool forests, and up to the best viewpoints, this tour leaves no stone unturned. You’ll walk Cap de Creus Natural Park, where a lone white lighthouse perched atop a rocky cliff welcomes you. Dip into the cool sea the countless coves you’ll pass, or hike up high to monasteries perched atop hills. The cultural and spiritual importance of these places is rivalled only by the natural beauty. Rest in villages hailed as the perfect getaways, like Salvador Dali’s favoured Cadaqués. The Walking Spain’s Wild Coast tour is an unmissable exploration of a must-see region!

Day 2 Pines and Creeks Loop Walk
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.

You’ll arrive in Cadaqués, where whitewashed buildings contrast against the azure ocean. This town was a favourite of both Salvador Dali and Picasso, and Dali once famously said, “I have spent a delightful summer, as always, in the perfect and dreamy town of Cadaqués. There, by the Latin sea, I have been quenched by light and colour.”

What travellers say
Stephen L.
I’ve been using 10A 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 10A made that happen.
Melinda S.
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.
Lina K.
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!
Gabriela H.
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!
Mikael V.
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!
Alexandra D.
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!
Eric S.
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.
Valeria R.
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!
Isabella N.
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!
Erika S.
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!
Robert D.
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.
Monica L.
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.
