Begur: Aiguablava to Sa Tuna

The Begur tourist office has good information on hiking. The first day being a Friday, per our hotel advice to avoid weekend crowds, we went on the more popular excursion. From Begur, we went down on the old Fornells road to catch the Cami, took the Cami to Aiguablava, scored in some views at the Aiguablava Parador, before returning on the Cami. Like everywhere in Spain, be it freshwater or saltwater, the water is super clear, but here, the water has the most beautiful shade of aquamarine.

The official Cami ended in Platja Fonda. We then went on some inferior trails by some fantastic viewpoints to Sa Tuna, where there is a section of the Cami. We decided to call it a day, and returned to Begur on the old Sa Tuna road. 14 kms of walking = a very satisfying day of hiking!

This sign by the City of Begur shows local trails in green or brown solid lines, the Cami de Ronda in black dashes, and the GR-92 and its connectors in white-over-red and red solid.

We started walking from our hotel and took the main road south about 1.5 kms before turning east towards the coast on the old road (Cami Vell) to Fornells and Aiguablava.

That's me (center right) on our first section of the Cami de Ronda.

Soon we are walking past a tiny cove with a boat launch (Platja de l'Anastàsia), and then a small yacht basin.

After watching this guy put his kayak in the water, we had our first look at the Parador Hotel across the bay with a cozy sandy beach below.

The Cami winds around trees and small coves, occasionally tunnelling under a building. Being off-season we had our pick of places to sit and enjoy the view or eat a snack.

We walked into the Parador and out to the other side to catch the view.

We turned around at the Parador and back-tracked to Fornells and up, up, the hill to the north.

And on to Mirador del Puig de sa Guardia. Love these Mirador signposts!
