About this tour
Spend nine hours exploring the Costa Brava's quieter stretches on foot, departing Barcelona with a private guide. Trek between Platia de Castell and Calella de Palafrugell, passing Iberian ruins dating back to the 6th century, then ease into a three-course lunch overlooking the sea. The route reveals hidden coves and coastal viewpoints rarely spotted by casual visitors, followed by time to snorkel in crystalline waters before returning to your Barcelona accommodation.
Highlights
- Ancient Iberian settlements tucked into the landscape
- Secluded coastal coves accessible only on foot
- Snorkel directly from the beach in clear waters
- Three-course meal at a waterfront village restaurant
- Small-group experience with air-conditioned transport throughout
What to expect
The walk unfolds at an easy, conversational pace—no scrambling or technical sections, though you'll need reasonable fitness to cover the distance. Your guide points out archaeological features and local ecology whilst you trace the rocky shoreline. Around midday, you'll reach Calella de Palafrugell, a genuine working village with a small beach where snorkelling gear is provided. Lunch happens here, with vegetarian plates available upon request. Afterwards, you can cool off in the Mediterranean before the return drive to Barcelona.
