"Cami de Ronda" means "patrol path", long time used by the authorities to watch the coast and by fishermen to reach harbours and coves.
This section of the Costa Brava is part of the long distance GR 92 snaking for almost 400 km along the Catalan coast.
The itineraries offer a wonderful succession of colourful landscapes: jagged capes and high cliffs, pine and holm oak forests, rare vestiges of Antiquity, rocky coves and unspoilt beaches, a great variety of Mediterranean flora, lovely fishing villages.
You stay in a different village every evening and enjoy the local cuisine of fresh sea products.
Leaving its charming port, you walk along the shady GR 92. Unexpected detours enliven the first part of the day. The way back meanders along secluded beaches and wild coves. Swimming is a very tempting choice!
The little harbour is popular for its artistic atmosphere. Next to Cap de Sant Sebastià's lighthouse, you will discover the remains of an ancient Iberian village (6th century BC). “Tapas” lunch on the seafront of Tamariu.
