Walking the coastal tracks of the Caminos de Ronda on the Costa Brava

The Costa Brava’s Caminos de Ronda

The Costa Brava is a fantastic place to do some trekking. One of the best places to go trekking in the Costa Brava is along the Caminos de Ronda. These tracks wind their way along the cliffs overlooking the Mediterranean and have had many uses throughout their long history. They were used as a means to reach vessels shipwrecked along the coast,by smugglers, linked villages and as lookout posts for attacks from marauding ships.

The Caminos de Ronda get their name from when the Guardia Civil and local authorities patrolled the coast on the lookout for smugglers and marauders. The majority of the tracks follow the long distance paths (in this case the GR-92 which crosses Catalonia) or shorter paths (PR) and are signed accordingly.

Today the Caminos de Ronda on the Costa Brava offer an enjoyable walk amongst pine trees and typical Mediterranean shrubs including rosemary and thyme. They are a great way to explore the region and discover hidden coves all the while admiring the magnificent views over the sea. In the majority this paths are not technically difficult and can be walked throughout the year.
