Track the magnificent Wild Coast on a picturesque walking week in Spain
Spanning an untamed stretch of northeastern Spain, the Costa Brava is a golden sweep of hidden coves, peaceful fishing villages and some of the best beaches in the country. In short, the ideal destination for a week of coastal walking. With our expert tour leader guiding the way, we set out on foot to discover the highlights – medieval towns, pretty fishing communities and a showreel of coastal vistas – while also stopping at a vineyard for a wine tasting and Salvador Dalí’s summer house. Starting and ending in the electric seaside city of Barcelona also allows us to enjoy a touch of culture without getting too swept up in the bustle.

Reviews
Add your own reviewStunning Catalan coastlines
Stunning coastal paths, delicious Catalan food and wine and a fantastic tour leader who was brilliant at tailoring the experiences to our various preferences. Our trip included a variety of different experiences – from hiking beautiful coastal paths, to spotting exotic birds in a nature reserve, to wine tasting at an architecturally-renowned winery, to exploring Dali’s weird and wonderful summer house.
Most Inspirational Moment
Swimming in a beautiful secluded little bay at the end of a memorable day of walking to Spain's most North-Easterly point.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Fantastic - he was from the area so knew the hiking paths and local wildlife like the back of his hand and was able to recommend a number of brilliant local restaurants. He was also great at adjusting the plan each day to suit our various needs and preferences.
