The cost here is rough and rugged, with numerous small sandy or rocky coves. We are walking the coastal route on the weekend, and all the coves are full of small boats and families onshore enjoying the sun. The trail is very much an up-and-down, in-and-out affair, with several scrambles across bare rocky patches. One steep decent reaches a teeny, tiny little cove that has a small cafe which is open in the summer. Beer and lemonade makes a refreshing combo. The cafe is run by a family who must stock their supplies by boat and I am sure no safe landing is possible in rough surf. Some of the coves are small villages, now full of summer vacationing crowds, postcards, and ice cream.
The views from high on the trail are stunning. Near the end of the day we are at a viewpoint with 15th century watchtower, modern lighthouse, and even more modern cell phone tower. I offer to take a group photo of a family celebrating Grandma's 80th birthday and I am rewarded with a glass of cava - local Catalan champagne.
