Aiguablava - Sa Tuna - Aiguafreda

The path from Aiguablava to Aiguafreda unwinds through the cliffs characterising Begur's coast. So, expect some steep hills!

After leaving Aiguablava, you'll find two small coves: Cala Maralet and Platja de Fornells. The second one is in the beautiful fishing district Fornells, which has a small port.

Keep walking next to the sea and under the pine trees until you stumble upon the 50 stairs you need to descend to get to Platja Fonda. This pretty beach surrounded by cliffs is a good spot for a break, a dip in the emerald waters, or a snack.

From here on, the path climbs through housing estates until the track's highest point, a hill known as Puig de sa Guàrdia. The views from here are incredible!

The next interesting point is El Semàfor de Begur, a lighthouse from 1891 currently disused. The building itself isn't wowing, but what's impressive are the views from here. You can spot the Medes Islands and the Cap de Creus from here! Also, don't forget to go through the cave you'll see. The panoramic views once you get out are amazing.

Time to leave the lighthouse behind and enter a pine forest. Here, the slope becomes more abrupt, so it's time for the legs to work out a little! But the effort is worth it. Not long after the lighthouse, you'll find this path's treasure, Sa Tuna.

The blue of the water and the colourful houses make this cove iconic. If you have your goggles and snorkel tube, don't forget to explore the sea bed! The cove's right side is rocky and has many caves where it's easy to spot marine life.

Also, it's worth spending some minutes exploring Sa Tuna's narrow streets and marvelling at all the beautiful houses!

The last part of the path passes by one more cove, cala Ses Vaques, until finally reaching Aiguafreda.

As this hike is not circular, you'll have to get back following the same path. If you're staying in Begur, you can also take the shuttle bus from Sa Tuna back to the village.
