the walk

This walk takes you along the high hills above the Costa Brava, from a village known in the Middle Ages as the town of the Jews to an old Moorish refuge on the coast.

You’ll see dolmens, olive groves, a marvellous ruined church, one of Catalonia’s finest monasteries, a craggy watchtower (1, 2, 3) built during the Kingdom of Aragon’s medieval expansion into the Mediterranean, bits of the GR11, mist if you’re really unlucky, and spectacular views of the Mediterranean and back over the plains towards Figueres and the Pyrenees (1, 2). There’s an opportunity to have a swim off the beach at the end.

	your group
number of people (including yourself) in your group	This is the total size of the group - you won't be sharing with a couple of dozen strangers like on other city tours.

Please tell us which (major) currency you want to use. If you turn up on the day with more people than agreed, no problem, but we will charge you a supplement per extra person on top of the total fixed price (this calculator will help you work out what that will be). If you turn up with less people than agreed, the total fixed price will generally not be discounted. Try to talk to us in advance in either case so we don't have to attempt mental arithmetic in public.
