The boat slips away from Platja d’Aro’s quay as the light softens, the hull cutting a path along a coastline that still feels like it resists the mainland’s rhythm. Salt air lifts; cliffs darken; fishermen’s coves and patterned rock faces pass in a slow procession—S’Agaró’s promenade, the compact harbor of Sant Feliu de Guíxols, then a string of small coves: Cala Vigatà, Ametller, Cala del Mort.
