Salt air and limestone meet the trail as the group steps out of the minibús and onto the Camí de Ronda—Catalonia’s coastal sentry. The path curves along sheer cliffs, drops into shaded pines, and opens suddenly to coves the Mediterranean keeps to itself. Guides set a steady, conversational pace; the sea’s blue pulls eyes over the shoulder of each rise.
