Catalan Classic Walk

General information:

This is a one boot independent walking holiday with spectacular walking by day, and high standard hotels by night. The walking is fairly gentle on well looked after paths and tracks.

The route first follows the winding, sandy paths of mainland Spain's loveliest coast, then heads inland where you'll discover the unspoilt landscapes of Catalunya and finally takes you through forest paths back to the sea.

Walking details:

The walking is fairly gentle on well looked after paths and tracks. There is a short 200m stretch which is not really suited to those who suffer badly from vertigo, although this can be avoided by shortening the walk.

Location:

The holiday starts and ends in Calella de Palafrugell.

This independent walking holiday explores a region called 'Baix Emporda' between the coastal towns of Gerona and Figueres. You'll visit places like Castell d'Emporda, the pretty mediaeval villages of Corca, Monells and La Bisbal and the hilltop town Begur with it's castle, impressive villas and pretty narrow streets.

The region is also known for it's abundant bird and plant life and preserved natural habitats.
