Senderismo: Camino de Ronda

Hotel Aigua Blava Begur

La Costa Brava está llena de rutas e itinerarios para los amantes del senderismo. Pero, sin duda, el Camino de Ronda es el que concentra mejor la esencia de la comarca: mar y montaña, deporte y relax. Rodeado de unas panorámicas espectaculares, este itinerario es el mismo que transitaba el Real Cuerpo de Carabineros de Costas y Fronteras y la Guardia Civil para realizar su “ronda” y detectar la presencia de contrabandistas en la zona. De ahí su nombre y, también, su recorrido. Y es que Begur y Palamós, dos de las localidades por las que pasa este camino, eran las preferidas por los huidos de la ley para esconderse.

Atrás quedan esos días, pero no la espectacularidad del Camino de Ronda. Con dos rutas diferentes para descubrirla (la litoral, de 43 km, y la circular, de 140 km) y tres puntos de partida para realizarla (Girona, Sant Feliu de Guíxols y Palamós), este itinerario es ideal para hacer turismo activo en la Costa Brava. Eso sí, no intentéis recorrerlo en un día. Además de calzado cómodo, requiere tiempo. Dos días en el caso de la ruta litoral y ocho, en el de la circular. ¡La mejor forma de descubrir la costa mediterránea y disfrutar de hoteles como el Hotel Aigua Blava o el Hotel Ancora!

El primero está situado en Begur, a primera línea de mar y a solo unos metros de la playa de Aiguablava. El hotel perfecto para coger fuerzas entre caminata y caminata y relajarse después de un día de senderismo. Sus habitaciones, con vistas a la costa y un diseño trabajado, aseguran un sueño reparador. Su restaurante, de prestigio dentro y fuera de esta localidad, es una aproximación a la cocina catalana. Basado en el producto fresco y de temporada, este espacio gastronómico hará que disfrutes de tu estancia con todos los sentidos.

El segundo se encuentra en Palamós, a pocos metros de la playa de la Fosca. Regentado por la familia Gispert-Ciurana desde hace más de 45 años, este espacio cuenta con habitaciones acogedoras, una piscina exterior y un restaurante especializado en cocina mediterránea. Los ingredientes necesarios para una escapada perfecta. 

 

Located in the Aiguablava Bay, just a few minutes from the historic centre of the medieval village of Begur, Hotel Aigua Blava is one of the most exclusive hotels on the Costa Brava.

Its outstanding dining experience includes the panoramic restaurant, La Terrassa and La Rocalla, renowned as one of the finest culinary destinations in Begur thanks to its Mediterranean cuisine, breathtaking sea views and carefully selected wine list. With direct access to the Camí de Ronda coastal path, guests can walk to Aiguablava Beach or discover hidden coves such as Platja Fonda and Cala del Maralet, making every stay a unique experience for couples and families looking to enjoy a true luxury hotel on the Costa Brava.
