Costa Brava

More about the book

Spain's "wild coast" is a top holiday destination on the Iberian Peninsula, offering a unique contrast to more developed tourist areas. While hotel high-rises and busy beaches exist, the Costa Brava retains a wealth of unspoiled natural beauty, featuring miles of coastal cliffs, unusual mountains, and secluded beaches with crystal-clear waters. The region boasts a diverse array of landscapes, including rugged seaboards, sheltered bays, and inland trails that lead through dense forests, high plateaus, surreal rock formations, and lush volcanic domes—all within easy reach of seaside resorts. Roger Büdeler presents 50 varied walks catering to different preferences, from leisurely strolls along the "camí de ronda" to more challenging summit hikes. The routes include an ecological nature trail through unique swampland and rocky paths with enjoyable scrambles. Most suggested walks are easy to moderately difficult, designed to fit within half a day, allowing ample time for additional exploration of the area's natural landscapes, scenery, and culture. The book features colorful illustrations and detailed maps, making it an invaluable guide for both casual walkers and avid hikers.
