Description

In addition to its architectural and landscape values, the Camí de Ronda is a privileged sidewalk of Costa Brava’s geological heritage. The geology of this coastline ‘stretch’, together with its ease to access it, makes this walk a true open-air museum that allows you to discover a rich variety of rocks, structures and reliefs.

This trail owns the award of tourist quality “Itinerari Blau” (Senderos Azules http://senderosazules.org/), which allows the connection between the beaches of Sant Pol and Sa Conca, both qualified with the Blue Flag marker, in addition of its remarkable geological interest.

Parallely to Camí de Ronda, runs the Via Brava of Platja d'Aro itinerary, which is signposted and marked from Easter until mid-October, and allows experienced swimmers to enjoy and safely explore the coastline from the sea. This marine itinerary, the Via Brava of Platja d'Aro, begins at El Racó beach and reaches Cala Sa Conca, it is 2 km long. For more information: http://costabrava.viesbraves.com

We invite you to make this unique journey that will take you from the depths of the Earth to the seaside.

Tips

Track:

Meteo:

-The whole year

Equipment:

-Comfortable footwear

Other equipment:

-At Platja de Sa Conca there is a beach bar from Easter Week until September 30.

-In the summer season, there are public toilets on the beach of Sa Conca (same season as the bar)

-S'Agaró’s roundabout has an elevator platform that facilitates access for disabled people with reduced mobility from Escala de la Gacela to Plaça del Mirador (about 600 meters). You must go to the access control point of the urbanization of S'Agaró, where the key and the code will be provided.
