Hit the hiking heights of the Costa Brava, and explore the coastline between Platia de Castell and the village of Calella de Palafrugell on a day trip from Barcelona. The area is one of the unspoiled gems of the popular Costa Brava region, and the best way to discover its secluded coves and little-known vantage points is by foot. Follow a guide at a leisurely pace, see 6th-century Iberian ruins, and finish with a seaside lunch in charming Calella de Palafrugell.

Platja de Castell, Palamos, Spain The winding cliff-top route is akin to a walk through history. Pass alongside the ruins of a 6th-century Iberian village, perched high on a rugged promontory, and listen to stories about the area’s past. The views are impressive, and the twists and turns of the coastal path frequently give way to jaw-dropping vistas of the Med, lashing against the rocks below.
Make your way down to remote coves and sandy beaches, and enjoy several breaks to cool down with a swim or snorkel. Equipment is provided; you just need your bathing suit. After just over three hours exploring the coastline, finish your hike at Calella de Palafrugell — a tiny village on a bay that’s graced by fishermen’s houses and whitewashed villas.
Head inside one of the village’s seafront restaurants, and relax with a 3-course lunch. Finally, step back inside your minivan for the journey back to Barcelona. Your tour finishes at the start point.

My wife and I had a wonderful Costa Brava trip with our guide, Craig. We enjoyed Craig's commentary along the drive and his selection of scenic stops. The hike along the coast was easy and beautiful, I'm 72 and had no trouble with it. We had a delicious lunch and tour of Costa Brava. Would take this trip again in a heartbeat.

This was an excellent English language small group tour with Craig as our guide. He spoke perfect English. From the moment we got in the van we started asking questions about local history, economy and geography details. Craig's depth of knowledge and the way he provided the information was thorough and entertaining. The ride to Costa Brava and Girona went by quickly and we all learned so much. The sites and views you will see are once in a lifetime! With Craig's help not a moment was wasted. Lunch was local and wonderful. You will be delighted if you take this tour.

We had an amazing hike with our guide Sam! The scenery on the Costa Brava coast was breathtaking and would highly recommend going with a guide to that area. It was great to hear about the history of the region as well, and end with a fantastic lunch in Calella de Parafrugell.
