Cala del Molí, Calanque in Sant Feliu de Guíxols, Spain
Cala del Molí is a small inlet along the Costa Brava with steep limestone cliffs that drop directly into the Mediterranean Sea. The waters here are deep and intensely blue, while the rocky formations create dramatic vertical walls above the shore.
During the 19th century, this inlet served as a lookout point where locals monitored ships approaching along the coast. The strategic position made it an important site for watching maritime traffic in the area.
The via ferrata climbing route, created by Albert Gironès, has transformed this natural inlet into a destination for mountaineering enthusiasts.
The cove is reachable on foot from Sant Feliu de Guíxols, though you will need sturdy shoes for uneven ground. Visiting on calmer days makes the rocky terrain safer and more enjoyable to navigate.
A via ferrata with wooden planks and steel cables runs along the cliff face, taking climbers to dizzying heights above the water. This route was created by a local mountaineer and remains an adventurous draw for experienced climbers.
