Camí de Ronda, Coastal footpath in Castell d'Aro, Platja d'Aro and s'Agaró, Spain.
Camí de Ronda is a coastal footpath that runs along the Costa Brava, connecting multiple beaches and coves through stone-paved sections and natural trails. The route moves through varied terrain with rocky areas, pine trees, and open sea views.
The path developed in the 19th century as a surveillance route for customs guards who patrolled the coast and prevented smuggling. This historical role shaped the route as a key control point for coastal waters.
The path links coastal communities and reflects how locals relate to the sea and the landscape around them. Visitors can observe today how residents use the route to connect between coves and integrate this stretch into their daily rhythm.
The trail has multiple access points, allowing visitors to explore specific sections or walk the entire route. The surface alternates between paved sections and natural paths, so sturdy footwear and care on uneven ground are advisable.
Near Hotel Bell Repòs, the path reaches Puig Pinell viewpoint, offering simultaneous views of both neighboring beaches. This spot reveals how distinctly different the two adjacent shores appear from this vantage point.
