Trip Summary

I started my trip in Barcelona with the goal to see a little of the wild and nice Costa Brava. After some driving, I started to head for Far de San Sebastia, mostly because I expected some nice views from there. The car brought me all the way up to this little hill and I parked right next to the restaurant Far de San Sebastia. I then explored the hill-top with Torre de Guaita de San Sebastia, overlooking the Mediterranean sea and also large parts of the nearby land. I found a little path at the steep eastern side facing the sea and followed it in northern direction. After a little up and down along the steep mountain side, I got the idea that I could try to get down to the sea (and explore also the waters there!). Following some small tracks through the forest, I found a path that headed towards a little bay, Cala del Cau. Eventually, I connected to "the path" leading down to the bay. Giving the high temperatures, I really was nice to actually make it to the bay and take a short swim in the sea. After enjoying some time in the bay, I returned back up to the hill and the car. While altogether this was by no means a long hike, it still was special due to the hot weather! :-)
