More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off from a small rocky cove and the Mediterranean opens like a bright, moving floor: waves nudge the kayak, cliffs throw cool shadows, and the sea smells faintly of salt and pine. The route threads past Portitxol headland toward the steeper limestone faces of Cap de la Nao and the pebbled inlet of Granadella, visiting caves and coves that feel private because they are reachable only by water.
