outhern Costa Brava. Having already walked the wild trail from Blanes to Tossa and the dramatic cliffs from Tossa to Sant Feliu de Guíxols, the Camí de Ronda from Sant Feliu de Guíxols to Platja d’Aro offers something different: postcard-perfect coves, a modernist promenade designed by a renowned architect, and an elegant seaside atmosphere that contrasts with the wilder nature of the previous sections.
At roughly 10 kilometres with very little elevation gain, this stretch is perfect for anyone visiting the region ahead of the Ryder Cup 2031 at Camiral who wants an accessible walk full of beauty.

Sant Feliu de Guíxols: The Starting Point
The route begins at the Club Nàutic de Sant Feliu de Guíxols, with free parking right by the harbour. It’s also kilometre zero of the Girona greenways, so if you fancy combining nature with railway heritage, this spot connects directly to those routes too.
Right from the start, the path climbs gently to a small viewpoint over Cala Jonca, a tiny cove tucked between the rocks. It’s so small that on stormy days it can disappear completely under the waves, leaving only the access stairs hanging over the sea.
The Most Demanding Section: Towards Cala del Molí and the Via Ferrata Over the Sea
The stretch between Sant Feliu and Platja de Sant Pol is the most rugged part of the whole route, though it remains perfectly accessible. Here you’ll find the Mirador de les Triadores, a balcony perched over the cliffs from where you can watch the Via Ferrata de Cala del Molí, considered the only via ferrata in the world suspended directly over the sea.
You don’t need to climb it to enjoy the spectacle. Watching climbers hanging from harnesses above the turquoise water is, on its own, one of the most striking sights on the entire Camí de Ronda.
Shortly after you’ll reach Cala Maset, a beautiful but rather shady cove, before continuing along the coast to the lively Platja de Sant Pol.
S’Agaró: The Modernist Promenade Designed by Rafel Masó
From here the trail changes character completely. On reaching S’Agaró, the Camí de Ronda transforms into an elegant early 20th-century promenade, designed in 1916 by architect Rafel Masó, one of the great figures of Catalan Modernism. Stately villas, manicured gardens and a layout designed for leisurely strolling make this one of the most photographed sections of the entire Costa Brava.
Its terraces offer direct views over the dunes and the sea, and it’s the perfect spot to pause for a cold drink before continuing.
Sa Conca Beach and the Punta de Pinell Viewpoint
Continuing along the coastline, you’ll reach the spectacular Sa Conca Beach, separated from neighbouring Platja dels Oriços by a small islet. Right at the end of this beach, a staircase leads up to the Punta de Pinell Viewpoint, one of the most beautiful panoramic spots on the route, with direct views over Platja d’Aro.
Arrival at Platja d’Aro
The final stretch crosses a small woodland before entering the built-up area of Platja d’Aro, one of the liveliest destinations on the Costa Brava, with plenty of restaurants, shops and a bustling seafront atmosphere. Here you can decide whether to walk back the same way or take a taxi to Sant Feliu.
