Tips

  • You should be in good physical shape.
  • Don't forget to bring enough food and drink.
  • Tell someone where you intend to go and, if possible, share your location with them in real-time.
  • You're in a Natural Park. All its rules must be respected.
  • The tracks can be used by people coming in the opposite direction.
  • The Camí de Mar may be used by both walkers and cyclists. Please respect priorities.
  • Heavy motor traffic, especially in summer, on the roads and in built-up areas.
  • Danger of punctures from sharp stones on the track.
  • Danger of punctures from the thorns on the gorse and broom plants on the tracks and path.
  • Be careful of broken sections of the downhill track or path.
  • Do not cross the ford through the stream in the centre of La Valleta above Llançà.
  • Take care when passing through villages.
  • If you lose your bearings, don’t worry, follow the track as far above the line as you can.
