The path of Ronda de S’agaró

We invite you to discover a new type of tourism different from anything you have experienced on the Costa Brava. A short walk along a path that is sculpted along the entire Costa Brava, known as the Camí de Ronda. When every season thousands of people walk through these environments, many may not know that some of the best-kept secrets of the Mediterranean diet are waiting to be discovered along this path: ancient plants used by our ancestors, as well as plants used today in one of the best restaurants in the world: El Celler de Can Roca.

Location: Costa Brava (1 hour from Barcelona)

Grapevines and flowers from Cap de Creus

Discover the wine through the landscape where the vines take root and grow! The organic vineyards located in the Natural Park of Cap de Creus and close to Cap Norfeu, offer us an ideal setting to understand the relationship between viticulture and the environment and to taste different wines from the territory.
We will walk among the vineyards planted by the sea, arranged in terraces and surrounded by pastures and some cork oaks, and they will remind us where we come from and also the importance of preserving this legacy that they have left us as an inheritance.

The most natural Costa Brava

The paths meander through the forest and the small coves of sand and stone, which will lead you to discover, among others, young and old cork trees that tell us the history of wine and cava. Along the way we will also discover Dalí’s surrealist “shack”, today well hidden in the dense landscape of the area and some of the most beautiful and traditional fishermen’s houses.
As always, during the walk we will enjoy discovering and trying some of the most representative wild aromatic plants of the Costa Brava, going from old recipes to the most sophisticated dishes of Catalan haute cuisine.

Between the clouds and the most aromatic nature

Where the Pyrenees meet the sea, at the peaks of the Serra de Rodes, we find a monumental complex that offers us spectacular views over the Costa Brava. The nature that surrounds this medieval complex still bears witness to how the monks and the townspeople lived, while introducing us to the most modern kitchens. On a pleasant walk through the mountains we discover the world of flowers and herbs that give the aroma to the Mediterranean diet for centuries and until today. We will also find forgotten edible plants that avant-garde chefs are now recovering in their dishes. We will feel how nature, the origin of food, is also a source of inspiration for the best-known stoves in Catalonia.

The green nature of Empúries

Discover classical culture through plants, from the plant symbolism of Greek mythology to the recipes that give rise to Mediterranean cuisine. The privileged location of the Empúries site invites you to take a walk by the sea, where the ancient world is present wherever you look. The wild plants of the dunes and the species already cultivated in the time of the Greek colony, tell us stories of gods in love, frightened nymphs or sacred diviners. At the same time as the herbs we find along the way, they are also some of the best-known ingredients of the Mediterranean diet.
