You step off the minivan where cliffs meet the sea, the Catalan coast unrolling in hard rock and scrub as the Mediterranean wind pushes salt into your face. The morning walk follows the Camí de Ronda—stone steps and packed-earth trails that skirt hidden coves—before a short stop at the sheltered Cala S'Alguer, a narrow bay of pale rocks and fishermen's huts.
