Hiking on the Costa Brava: from La Fosca to Calella de Palafrugell

• Past Excursions

DATE: May 29th at 8.30h

On this occasion, we propose a nature and beach hiking route through one of the most beautiful spots of the Costa Brava, the one that connects Palamós with Calella de Palafrugell.

We start the route in the Fosca cove, where we take an easy footpath to the beautiful and picturesque Cala S’Alguer, where we will make a short break before resuming the march to the Platja del Castell, one of the few almost virgin beaches of the peninsula, with important remains of an ancient Iberian settlement.

At the Castell beach we will have free time to enjoy the calm that this beautiful beach offers us (if anyone wants to swim, here will be the first opportunity to do so).

After the stop at the Castell beach, we will resume the march to the beautiful Cala Estreta, where we will stop for a while to have a picnic lunch (you must bring a sandwich from home or buy it in La Fosca).

After lunch and rest, we will walk to Calella de Palafrugell, where we will have free time to enjoy the maritime district of Palafrugell.
