Wonderful hike and would highly recommend. Beautiful landscape and Jaime was very knowledgable about the region. Jaime picked us up and dropped us off at our accomodations which was a bonus. Hike was 5.5 miles. My husband and I are in reasonable shape and managed the hike well but we were tired and a little sore next day. Jaime can adjust pace and the distance a little bit. Recommend bringing water and light snack.

An amazing trip !! We went to Barcelona for a city break, and were delighted to have the chance to visit the costa Brava's beautiful coast line, only an hour away from the city. Jamie collected us in his van early morning and drove us to a beautiful idyllic beach, where we walked along the coast, stopping for a picnic on the beach, and continued for approximately 10kms, taking in the most amazing scenery. Jamie was a fantastic guide. Highly recommended to all.
