Collioure to Cadaqués

From the Côte Vermeille to the Costa Brava

  • self-guided hotel-to-hotel walking, luggage transported
  • beautiful, relaxed coastal routes
  • comfortable hotels, two with a pool
  • walk from France into Spain

Bathed in warm Mediterranean sunshine, and with the final peaks of the Pyrenees providing a dramatic backdrop, the coast either side of the Franco-Spanish border invites exploration on foot. This is Catalonia, vibrant and proud of its distinct culture, and to walk between the charming fishing villages that nestle along its coast on both sides of the frontier is a joy, passing small, rocky coves, craggy headlands and rugged cliffs, below which the sea sparkles in the bright sunlight.

As I skirted the rugged Cap de Ras, the air held that wonderful smell of earth after rain. Under the cliffs the sea lay calm, the water so clear I could make out the bristling shapes of urchins on the rocks below.
     
Brian Jackman, The Sunday Times

Unsurprisingly, the coast (in French the Côte Vermeille, in Spanish the Costa Brava) and its fishing villages have long attracted many artists, among them Dalí, Picasso and Matisse, who were drawn by the bright Mediterranean light. By walking from Collioure to Cadaqués along the coast, you will discover for yourself the lure and enchantment that this delightful area has held for so many artists.
