The Mediterranean opens like a bright, breathing corridor as you push off from a narrow cove on the Costa Brava—clear water lapping the kayak that rocks under your palms. Sea air cuts through the heat of Barcelona behind you; ahead are limestone cliffs freckled with scrub and tiny white beaches only reachable by water. Caves and arches punctuate the coast, and the guide's voice channels practical confidence as currents prod and guide the group.
