Calella de Palafrugell to Llafranc
January 23, 2010 by · Leave a Comment
This 1 1/4 mile route (one-way) is one of the easiest and most representative stretch of the coastal trail.
Calella de Palafrugell
The trail begins at the northern end of Calella, at the Platja de Canadell. There is a car park nearby. look out for the signpost pointing to the Cami de Ronda (seaside path) which is marked with a small coloured code indicated that you’re on the GR-92, a massively long path that runs the length of Spain’s Mediterranean coast and forms part of the E-10 route, which runs all the way to the Baltic.
Llafranc – Mediterranean Views
The extremely east to follow path runs along the shore. In many places you’ll find a wooden rail guiding you along. Be sure to take a camera as this is one of the best areas to take photos of the coast and the town of Calella in the distance.
Placa de Marinada
In about 30 minutes you’ll reach the town of Palafrugell and its placa de Marinda. From here head to the Passeig de Cipsela, a pretty seaside promenade that follows the curve of Llafranc Bay. The promenade ends at the town’s marina.
Faro de Sant Sebastia
From the marina, take the steps to your left (marked as the GR trail) and climb slowly to the Faro de Sant Sebastia (St Sebastian’s Lighthouse). Along the way enjoy the fantastic views. In about 30 minutes you’ll reach the lighthouse and a lookout point. Nearby you can also see the ruins of an old chapel and an Iberian settlements
