Known as the Cami de Ronda, the coastal path that goes all along the Costa Brava up to the French border, has some truly spectacular parts, and this is one of them. It"s only short (an hours hike) but the dramatic scenery and views make it a great introduction to the "Wild Coast".

This beach has a bit of everything and is very easy to reach tucked between Sant Feliu and Platja d'Aro. On the one headland you have the imposing buildings of one of the areas premier hotels, the Hostal de la Gavina surrounded by other exclusive houses designed by architect Rafael Maso in the 1920's and 30's.

Walking along a fairly deserted promenade in Palamos today after some of the worst storms in recent memory over Christmas. Some coastal towns on the south of the Costa Brava like Blanes, Lloret de Mar and Tossa de Mar suffered severe damage to their beaches, promenades and even flooding to buildings along the beach from the 6metre high waves and 90km winds.

Once more the Historic Costa Brava Rally of Lloret de Mar had its urban route through Fenals and we enjoyed watching the vintage race cars just in front of the Hotel Savoy front entrance during a splendid spring-like day.

The roar of the engines, the sun and the sea have an irresistible atraction and the atmosphere brings good memories of the old Costa Brava Rally. The participants gave good account of that and salute their fans which remember and come year after year.
