Like a canvas where nature has combined the intense green of the pine groves, the massive rocks, the golden sands and the dazzling blue of the sea - that is Costa Brava. This hiking tour crosses the enchanting Emporda-region, which offers everything Catalonia is famous for: picturesque villages from the middle ages, mountains covered with pine forests, little hills and wide beaches… After the day tours there is a lot of opportunities to relax at the beach or have a great dinner at one of the local restaurants. Indeed, Emporda is very famous for its cuisine and especially for the fish dishes.

Highlights:
♦ Begur - The coves along the Begur Coast, between Aiguablava and Sa Riera, are said to be the most beautiful of the whole Costa Brava 
♦ Calella de Palafrugell - This is the first of the three excellent beaches - the others are Llafranc and Tamariu. Its surroundings are considered to be among the finest scenery of Baix Emporda 
♦ Palamós is a modern-looking resort set around a harbour full of yachts, and last stop on the cruceros boat run.
