- Explore the beauty of Mediterranean coast hiking with us! Discover the variety of landscapes and scenic beaches, its flora and fauna, historical places and small villages. These video series is devoted to the Catalonian part of it, starting from the French village Argelès-sur-Mer in Pyrénées-Orientales all the way to the Spanish village of Cadaqués and Cap de Creus cape on the Costa Brava. Immerse yourself in the peaceful holiday mood and we bet you'll find a place to put on your travel bucket list and to visit on your next vacation! Or even dare to do this hike yourself!
It was the last final day of our hike and the plan was to get to the Cap de Creus Lighthouse and explore the area around it. And so we did getting on the 6 km trail leading to the Lighthouse. The day was overcast and we were ok with it knowing how hot it could get hiking in the sun. But we were still hoping for some epic views and great photos. First part of the trail was going on the car road then turning to the dirt road and then finally to a mountain path. The road part wasn´t too long though. On the way there were lots of uphills and downhills and the path itself was very rocky and unstable in some points. But knowing that you´re already walking on peninsula and from all the sides you´re surrounded by water made this trail really special. Soon enough we started to see the lighthouse up on the mountain top and it looked quite impressive from far. When we got closer to it though it didn´t impress us as much but the place around it was absolutely breathtaking. All those incredible rock cliffs, turquoise water lagoons, seagulls resting and behaving like home and yachts drifting slowly in the sea made this place one in a kind eco system. There is so much variety of relief and rock formations that you can literally spend the whole week there just grasping all that beauty and photographing every corner with the guarantee that every shot is going to be different. So it is definetely a must visit for any passionate phtographer. And we were so dissapointed that we had so little time to spend and explore this place. So we´ll have to come back there at some point in the future. It is to be continued...

We are a couple who once fell in love with mountains and couldn't get back. So we decided to follow our heart and move from a big city to a small village to be able to do what we love and to create this content. Our goal is to promote the healthy lifestyle, to motivate people to travel more and care for nature around. We are passionate walkers who love hiking, trekking and camping. We offer the detailed information of our hikes and routes, including the map and all the directions, so that you can repeat it if you'd like to.
We choose walking over driving and other types of transportation whenever we can because we learnt that this way we see so much more and can explore and feel the place better. Walking is an excellent activity that has so many benefits to your health and requires no special equipment or practice, so we encourage you to get the most out of it and get out walking.
We speak English, Spanish, French and Russian, so don't hesitate to address to us in your native language.

Looks like a great hike along the sea.
Thanks a lot, Daniel! The camera doesn't pick up all the beauty of this hike for sure, so you should come and do it yourself:)
Hi guys, have so much enjoyed your trip and i will you certainly follow, that's for sure.Be carefull and entertain you, you're fine!
Thank you very much for your kind words! Happy that you enjoy our videos. Hope to stay in touch🙋😉
Preciosa excursión! La Costa Brava se tiene que visitar...
Si, es una maravilla! Esperamos que sea una inspiracion para la gente:)
Hi, I am from New Zealand and just started to watch and very much enjoying your videos. Can you please tell me how many km’s your walk has been for this hike along Med coast, I am keen to follow in your footsteps. I look forward to watching your other videos. Kind regards.
Hello, Kath, nice to meet you! Glad that you discovered our channel and enjoying the videos. We did this walk last year in the late spring and it was around 100kms maybe a bit more. You can find a map of the hike in the description of the video and also on our website: walkingnatureworld.com
And we do plan on continuing this hike in the future because we enjoyed it so much. But this was probably one of the best and wildest parts of the trail along the sea, after Cap de Creus there may be more pavement and village routes. But this part we can recommend with all our heart, you can do it in a week or so and late May is the best month to do it because it's still not too hot. Let us know if you have more questions. Thank you again for your kind words.
@@WalkingNatureWorld thank you so much! I am very keen to do...is there access to sleep in alberque aling the way. I will also check your link...it may show them. Thank you for your reply xx
@@kathfletcher8796 Really glad to help:) Yes, it will show all the villages on the map and as we stayed in the campings for the most part we don't have much information about albergues. But because you're passing lots of villages on the way it may not be a problem to find some hostel we think. Just have to check it in advance. And if you go in spring off season there won't be any problems with reservations.
@@kathfletcher8796 Here is the more exact linf to all of the episode of this hike and you'll find the map in the very end of every post. Here it is: walkingnatureworld.com/our-videos/great-mediterranean-coast-hike-from-occitanie-in-france-to-costa-brava-in-spain/
Walking Nature World thank you. I really appreciate your help , very kind 😀👌🏽👍
At one time there was a Club Mediterranee resort just north of where the lighthouse stands. I spent two weeks there in the 1970s. It closed in 2004 and since than has been completely removed from the landscape.
That's true that with time the landscapes can change quite drastically. We didn't even see a sign of it there. But the place itself is amazing to discover.
