Parts of the Camino de Ronda on the Costa Brava I.

 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.
