Sant Martí d’Empúries · Difficulty: very easy

It is the shortest route and the best one to start with, even with small children and a stroller. Follow the promenade and the seaside path, among pines and dunes, up to the hilltop old town with its square, narrow stone streets and terraces. It is just over a kilometer from the hotel, so it makes for an easy, unhurried walk. It passes the ruins of Empúries and is shaded for much of the way. Ideal for walking there and coming back with an ice cream.

Center of l’Escala · Difficulty: easy

It’s a bit longer, but without any complications. You walk along the promenade to the center of l’Escala, with its fishing port, shops and restaurants. The path is mostly flat, and children can ride a bike or walk without any problems. Inside the town center, it’s a good idea to pay attention to the signs, because in some streets cycling is not allowed. It’s a good option to spend the morning and have lunch in the port.

Cala Montgó · Difficulty: moderate

This one is a proper walk. The route follows the coast with lovely views, between cliffs, pines and the sea, to one of the most beautiful coves on the Costa Brava. The coastal path has some ups and downs and a few trickier sections, so it’s better for children who are already confident walkers. If you’re cycling, the road is the easiest option. Bring water, a hat and a swimsuit, because the cove invites you to stay.

Montgrí Natural Park · Difficulty: moderate-high

It is the route for the most adventurous families. It takes you through forests and trails, with more elevation and more distance than the previous ones, and with expansive views of the entire coast. It is better for older children or those with experience hiking, and for those who enjoy nature without haste. Leave early, wear good shoes, and bring plenty of water.
