What to expect
After museum orientation covering Jurassic reptiles specific to northern Spain, your guide leads a moderate coastal walk searching for fossilised tracks and bones weathered into cliff faces and beach. This isn't a strenuous hike—you'll move at a leisurely pace with frequent stops to examine specimens. The beach section lets you choose your own rhythm, whether wading, swimming or simply scanning the shoreline. Expect coastal weather: bring a jumper and sun protection. The walk finishes in Llastres, a working fishing harbour with narrow lanes and waterfront cafés where lunch happens at your preferred pace and expense.
Good to know
Wear sturdy shoes with grip for rocky sections. The museum visit and guided walk take roughly 3 hours; allow extra time for swimming or extended beach wandering. Llastres lunch isn't included (around €20 per person). No private transport provided—arrange separately if needed.
