A real luxury for romantic souls. A spectacular cove protected by the region's most characteristic wild nature. Take a walk along a natural path next to the Hotel Convent de Begur or go by car, to reach a charming place full of magic and inspiration, Sa Riera, which gets its name from the torrent that ended at its shoreline.
The Petit Convent recommends you get here via the majestic coastal trail (camino de ronda) which leads you to the right of the cove. It is here, through the sun’s rays, that you are ensured the finest view of the magnificent sapphire colour and seabed of this beautiful coast. As well as its renowned reputation as one of the most spectacular beaches in the Mediterranean, Aiguablava is one of the most prestigious culinary areas on the Costa Brava, the black rice and wild grilled lobster are particularly recommendable. While from here you can also enjoy some spectacular, memorable views.
The coastal walks along the steep cliffs on the Begur coast is one of the Costa Brava’s unique and unmissable experiences. It is a spectacular journey for anyone, from couples and tourists to hikers, to experience an adventure along the almost 100m high cliffs shaded by enormous 100 year old pine trees.
The caminos de ronda trails are 20km long in total. They are separated in four stretches along the coast which we have summarised below.
