Camino de Ronda and the beach of Altafulla and La Mora

It is one and a half hour by train to get to Altafulla-Tamarit station. You have to take a Media Distancia Renfe train  (not Cercanias) from the Estacion de Francia or Sants , the return  ticket costs 14 euros. From the station it is 5 minutes to get down to the beach. The coastline is really nice with some small old houses.  To walk to the Playa de Mora on the Camino de Ronda you just have to walk along the beach direction to the Castle. If you walk behind the the Castle  you'll find the first sign for the Camino de Ronda so now you have to follow that and in an hour you'' get to  La Mora. The way is easy and beautiful but be careful with some very slippery rocks.  In La Mora there is nothing else just a huge camping, some holiday apartments by the beach and a couple of restaurants . From there you can continue the walk by the coast and you 'll get to Playa Waikiki or further to Tarragona. These  are wide sandy beaches with some waves usually , crystal clear waters and the amazing pine forest smell thanks for the hills surrounding the area.

 Camino de Ronda  between Tossa de Mar and the Cala Pola

You can go to Tossa de Mar from Estacion de Nord, and the return ticket is 24 euros  , the journey is around 90 minutes. You have to buy the tickets at the Sarbus company's window. When you arrive to Tossa , go till the Mar Menuda  beach , and turn left at the end of the road , when there is no other chance anyway , jut to turn left a bit uphill, just continue until you see that little blue arrow , which is on the picture, and enter the garage gate-looking thing. From here you just have to follow the path and the blue arrows (there are not many , it is not too well signed, but the path is quite obvious). The whole walk is not longer than an hour.You will have some great  views and pass by a nice little bay, with a restaurant in it , and during july and august a lot of motorboats as well. Sadly the pine forest here is dying for some reason, so now it is not as green and shady as it was before , but still beautiful, you have to go there soon, before all the trees die! The Cala Pola itself is a perfect place for swimming and snorkeling it is very clean and turquoise blue, but in august i wouldn't recommend because of the motorboats and the lot of people from the Camping Pola. Between the end of may and the beginning of september the camping is open , so you can buy food here, and they have small supermarket with bakery. It is a nice camping in this calm valley with the bay, so to sleeping there also can be a good idea if yo have time. If you are too tired to walk back to Tossa you can go by the bus  of Hotel Giverola, in the Camping they have information about it and you can buy the tickets as well.

 This is where the path begins.

If you don't want to walk you can take the glass bottom boat as well and get out at the Cala Pola, although it is bit expensive.
