We have had numerous holidays with Inntravel and this walk must rank as one of the best we have undertaken. The wonderful villages en route full of charm and character, the hotels all had a unique appeal which includes their positions and settings. The Dali Museum in Pubol I would highly recommend.
Liked rural charm of La Plaça and the little tapas bar in the centre of Madremanya. Excellent lunch at Can Bosch, Púbol which was very good value for 12.50e. Found the hilltop villages very attractive and not too busy. Thought the seaside villages idyllic with wonderful views of harbours and coves.
This was the first specifically walking holiday we'd done, and proved to be a good choice. There was very little repetition of routes in the walks, and it was good to get alternatives on occasion. The notes/map directions were very detailed, making it virtually impossible to get lost. With the exception of one hotel, the accommodation and food was excellent. Hard to say which was best - but it's certainly not a trip on which you lose weight! If I had one key recommendation, it would be to stay an extra night at Llafranc, as its a lovely place and great to relax in at the end of a trip.

Pleasant rural walking with the coast walking being the most scenic. Highlight of the holiday was undoubtedly the gastronomic meals!
Walking notes were excellent - very detailed and precise. It would be impossible to get lost with the notes provided. Salvador Dali castle at Pubol and the botanical gardens at Cap Roig should not be missed. Extra days should be added on for Llafranc - it's makes a great ending to the holiday.
The gastronomic dinner at Hotel Llevant was outstanding.
This is the 6th walking holiday that the 4 of us have done with InnTravel and it was our favourite. The hotels were all superb and food wsa wonderful, although we weren't keen on the dinners at Es Portal - a bit too experimental for us. Our favourite hotel overall was Aigua Blava, for the rooms, the very friendly and attentive staff and great food. The dinners at El Placa were excellent and obviously produced with great love and inspiration. The walking was as promised and very pleasant.
We thought this was a very good holiday, with very nicely varied walks. The level of walking was as expected with the exception of the last day, which we did find even more difficult than expected. The Dali castle is worth a visit, but closed on Mondays in October. There is a very good small shop in La Pera, on the way to Pubol, where we got a sandwich, the restaurants in Pubol also being closed on Mondays. The weather was poor when we were in Pals but it was easy to adapt the walk route to make a shorter circuit.
Highlights: the walking through lovely landscapes, the warmth and friendliness of the hotel owners and staff, the local food and local wine, exploring Pals for a day, swimming at both beaches at Aiguablava and the meal and swimming at Cala Pedrosa.
This was our first walking holiday and the faultless package provided by Inntravel was exceptional. All the hotels, despite being different, were of a very high standard. This is a stunning area to visit both inland and on the coast. The variety of scenery and experiences from day to day made this holiday feel as if it lasted for longer than a week. A point to note is that on the circular walk around Pals, there is no longer a restaurant in Fontclara. However, if you happen to be doing this walk on a weekend then it is well worth calling for a lazy lunch a little further along at Can Bach. We had an excellent lunch on a Sunday, the place was very busy with local people but the staff we most obliging in accommodating us.
On our return we are already discussing where to go next with Inntravel!
The food at the first two hotels and the the Llevant was absolutely excellent and a highlight.
We gave ourselves an addtional day in Girona for the purpose of visiting the Dali Theatre Museum in Figueres which very easy to do by train and a wonderful highlight which deserves flagging up as an option. Recommend prebooking for the Dali online in high season.
On the last full day we took the footpath from Llevant to the Cap Roig gardens which were spectacular; more a "must do" than an option for anyone with an interest; walking back by road through Calella cuts the walking time by more than half!
We had a very lovely holiday; it was a perfect time to go with lots of spring flowers. The walking was varied. We loved the small medieval villages in the first half of the week. Pubol is worth a visit. Notes and maps were clear and hotels very good. Our favourite was La Placa for its quiet rustic charm. Our first Inntravel holiday and will book again.
We particularly enjoyed the walks around Madremanya, and would have liked on reflection to have spent a little longer there rather than the final coastal stretch. We would also like to see more of Girona next time, either at the start or finish of the trip so would advise customers to consider taking up this option.
The holiday was fantastic from start to finish, the hotels were all very good and the food excellent, it seems a little hard to judge one better than the other as they were all good, but our favorite was La Placa, the location, rooms, food and service all superb. The walking notes were very good as was the Spanish signage on the routes, all easy to follow. If travelling by train I would highly recommend making time to visit Le Train Bleu at Gare De Lyon, expensive, but a fantastic restaurant, food and service, well worth a visit.
This has been the best holiday I have ever been on, the standard of hotels and food was exceptional, the walks were varied and interesting, the notes easy to follow, with lots of beautiful scenery and lovely places to stop for lunch. All the travel arrangements ran smoothly and I would not hesitate to recommend and use Inntravel again.
Thank You
A great holiday, at a good time of year as weather was not too hot and there were not too many holiday makers on the coast. I can guess the beach near Hotel Llevant in Llafranc could cause problems from overcrowding in the high season.
The hotels and food were excellent - perhaps the bounty of wild spring flowers were a highlight. The walks were great with some fascinating and varied scenery, with only minimal road distances in built up areas.
My best memory perhaps was Palau Sator and the two restaurants. We also enjoyed the flintstone'esque cafe in Cala Pedrosa. And some of the coastal paths were brilliant.
A lovely walk combining beautiful hill-towns on the inland stretch with a rugged coastal walk to finish. Wonderful food and wine found in this region.
