Tossa de Mar - Cala Bona - Cala Pola - Cala Giverola

Walking north from Tossa de Mar, follow the red and white signs that will guide you through this path. In this direction, the footpath presents some steep hills, but the fragrance of pine trees, rosemary and thyme will make you not think about them.

After 3 km, the first cove appears, Cala Bona (Good cove). When we got there, the first thing we did was jumping directly into the sea to fight the intense summer heat. If you like snorkelling, you’ll love to explore the seabed of this cove and swim along with all kind of Mediterranean fishes. It’s a good time for a break and to eat something before continuing the search for new coves. There’s even a restaurant in the cove, but come on! It’s holidays! Why not do a good old-fashioned picnic to enjoy nature at its most?

The next treasure is not far from Cala Bona. Only after 1 km walk, Cala Pola appeared. This one is a sandy cove with crystal blue water, and it’s bigger than the one before. It’s usually quite crowded (especially in summer) because there’s a campsite next to it. Anyway, it’s a great place to lay on the sand, get a bit tanned (sun cream highly recommended!) and play a beach tennis match.

The last cove we visited on our hike was Cala Giverola. It’s 5 km far from Tossa de Mar (only 1 km after the previous cove). It’s the biggest one and similar to Cala Pola, but the boats anchored in the bay and the shape of the coast make it the best one in terms of views. Also, the bigger the cove, the larger the seabed to explore!

You make your way back to Tossa through the same path.
