But I want to mention this trail anyways, as it follows the footsteps of the Cathars who went all the way from Foix to the Berga Sanctuary. I did say this post would be about hiking in the Pyrenees, the Spanish bit. One of the nicest hikes in the Pyrenees goes through Cadaques Chemin des Bonshommes Most art lover will find Salvador Dalí House and Museum a real treat. There’s a lot of ups and downs, so it may be challenging. ![]() The final stretch goes from Cap de Creus to Cadaques, on a trail of about 7.3 km, and which stops by the Hermitage of Sant Baldiri and Portligat, where there’s Salvador Dalí House and Museum. STAGE FOUR – TOTAL WALKING DISTANCE 7.3 KM The biggest challenge is the lack of shade, which makes it one of the most difficult hiking trails in the Pyrenees. 80% of this stretch is inland, going along the GR-11 through cattle land, by old abandoned farm houses and finally getting to the lighthouse of Cap de Creus. The hardest part of the trail is the 14.8 km that link Port de la Selva to Cap de Creus. STAGE THREE – TOTAL WALKING DISTANCE 14.8 KM This part of the trail is easy, compared to other hikes in the Pyrenees, as it is paved and with no dramatic ascents or descents. The trail from Llançà to Punta de la Selva is 8.2 km and goes via some lovely coves with the pristine waters. STAGE TWO – TOTAL WALKING DISTANCE 8.2 KM The views make it one of the best hikes in the Pyrenees. The final part of this trail, after Cap Ras, is way easier as it is on a well-marked stone path that goes to Llançà. There’s no trail to follow, but it is not hard to go along the rocky coast without getting lost. It may be necessary to cross a bunch of tide pools, which is fun on a calm day, but not so much when the water is higher and harder to walk through. After you pass Colera, there’s another 6.7 km to Llançà, on a path that goes through several small coves. Throughout the walk, the views of Cap de Creus are splendid. First there is a steep ascent and then a descent to Colera. In the first section, the trail goes from Portbou to Colera, covering a distance of around 4.5 km. STAGE ONE – TOTAL WALKING DISTANCE 11.2 KM Though the entire trail is around 41.5 km long and can be divided in various parts, which means stopping in some of the nicest villages along the way. ![]() The trail then goes along the coast to eventually reach Cadaquès, one of the most picturesque medieval villages in Costa Brava. The starting point is in Portbou, a small city at the border with France. This is part of the GR-92 trail, which runs along the Costa Brava region of Catalonia. One of the nicest multi-day trails in the Pyrenees is that from Portbou to Cadaquès.
