DATE: June 18 at 8am

Guided tour in Begur and the remains of its castle, the best watchtower of the coast.

Begur is a beautiful town with a traditional flavor located on top of a hill, with spectacular views over the sea and the interior of the Empordà; the remains of a 14th century castle; watchtowers; charming streets; and beautiful colonial style houses built by the famous “indianos”.

Walk (1 hour approx.) along a beautiful wooded path to the cove of Sa Riera.

After visiting the village, discovering some of its fascinating history and enjoying the views, we will take a nice walk to Sa Riera along a beautiful wooded path.

Free time for lunch and enjoy the coves of Sa Riera and Illa Roja.

Between the cove of Sa Riera and Platja de Pals there is one of the most beautiful corners of the Costa Brava: the cove of Illa Roja, a beach of great beauty and with a large rock that presides over it and that gives it its name because of its reddish color.

Short walk along the spectacular coastal path -30 minutes- from Sa Riera to the beach of Pals.

We will walk along the beautiful coastal path that connects the cove of Sa Riera with the beach of Pals passing by the cove of l’Illa Roja, one of the most beautiful beaches of the Costa Brava.
