Hiking Cami de Ronda: Calella de Palafrugell to Begur

Last summer, my friend Maureen told us about a hike her friend had done in Spain, called the Cami de Ronda. where we interested?  Of course we are! So that Sunday afternoon I start doing some research, create a trip in Triphub and add some hikes and hotels to the trip board. We talk about it more during some of our weekly hikes. In November we decide on dates, and I start mapping out the routes and hotels along the way. A year after our first conversation, we are about to embark on hiking the Cami de Ronda hike: Calella de Palafrugell to Begur.  Day 1, August 22, 2025. 7.5 miles, 1,650 feet elevation

48 hours in Barcelona

This summer, we are hiking part of Cami de Ronda (route SR92), the old road from Tarifa in southern Spain to Port Bou in France, now turned into a popular hiking trail. We fly into Barcelona and decide to spend the first 2 days here, before starting the hike. 48 hours in Barcelona, and we pack in a lot. We have a direct flight from SFO to BCN. We land at 1.40pm and take the Aerobus from the airport to Plaza Catalunya. From there it is a short – although hot – walk to hotel Rialto, conveniently located in the Gothic neighborhood. We take a quick shower before heading out. We have things to do and places to see.
