Walking through this area of the Empordà is an excellent way to enjoy the Mediterranean landscape at a leisurely pace, observing the vegetation, the terrain, and the open views over the sea. Hiking here is not only physical activity but also a way to connect with the environment.

One of the great attractions of hiking in Montgrí is the variety of landscapes that appear along the trails. Cliffs, pine forests, coastal paths, open areas, and natural viewpoints create visually stunning routes full of contrasts. As you hike, the landscape constantly changes, offering new perspectives of the Mediterranean and the Baix Empordà region. In addition to the park's natural beauty, many routes also allow you to explore historical sites and hidden corners that form part of the area's identity.
