Hiking and mountain biking routes in natural parks
Walking is the best way to explore the Costa Brava thanks to its well-known coastal footpaths that wind their way along the Girona coastline from Portbou to Blanes.
Although in the past they were patrolled by guards to control the coast and stop smugglers, today they are stunningly beautiful footpaths that pass through coves, forests and towns. There are several footpath stages to complete but one of the most beautiful starts at none other than L’Almadrava Cove, where our apartments are located.
The coastal footpath between L’Almadrava Cove and Montjoi Cove (which is where the Ferran Adrià’s restaurant El Bullí was located), winds its way through pine groves and past little known coves in Cap de Creus Natural Park.
The landscape is breathtaking but walkers need to be reasonably fit to handle the elevation gain. If you prefer pedalling to walking, some of the stages of the coastal footpath are suitable for cycling.
Cap de Creus is not the only natural park in the area; the Aiguamolls de l’Empordà Natural Park is a wetland area famous for its rich flora and fauna. It’s perfect for a family outing!
