What the day feels like

How the day unfolds

A guide collects you in Barcelona and, after an approximately 90‑minute drive, the party begins on the Camí de Ronda. The hike threads sea‑facing cliffs and secret coves with time set aside for a restorative swim where conditions allow; afterward you return to Tossa de Mar for lunch and a guided stroll through the Vila Vella, its towers and alleys providing a historical counterpoint to the coastal walk.
