WHAT IS THE ROUTE OF CAMÍ DE RONDA®

WHAT IS THE ROUTE OF CAMÍ DE RONDA®

The route of Camino de Ronda® is a path made for walking along the ancient path in the seaside of the Costa Brava. The biggest part of the path of Camino de Ronda goes through narrow paths only adapted for trekkers on foot, with slopes, constant uphills and downhills, and some times even a bit tricky. In some occasions we also walk though sea promenades, beaches and flat stretches.

The above-mentioned, paired with the beauty of the landscape, flora and the abrupt geology of the Costa Brava, makes Camí de Ronda® an authentic paradise for hikers and trekkers. Unlike other similar routes, Camí de Ronda® is a route that can be done 365 days a year.
