- The Bravas Walk will start at the Platja de Castell. We take the road C31 to Vall-llobrega, then the exit 328, at the roundabout we follow the direction to Platja de Castell, we cross the C31 by a short tunnel and then a narrow road. We pass the Hotel Malcontenta, the Camping Benelux, when we arrive to the first Platja de Castell parking we pass it, even if it says it is forbidden to go further. After passing the first Castell car park, in about 500 meters we find a crossroad (crossway). We must take the way to the right and at the end of it we find the 2nd car park which will be our meeting and starting point.

- Meal information
- The lunch will be at the Restaurant Vall-llobrega or Casa Sonsu (Locals call it Ca la Bruta), Carrer Raval del Mar, 8; at about 13h. We take the narrow road back to Vall-llobrega, when we arrive to the roundabout after crossing the C31, we go to Vall-llobrega, and in a mile we arrive to the city centre, the Restaurant Vall-llobrega is at the right. There is a large free parking in front of the restaurant. Not menu list is available because they do it every morning depending on the market. They have many dining rooms, and we only must tell them the number of people and the hour a week before. The menu of the restaurant costs 16,50€, and we have to pay all the group together, so It would be easier if everybody gives the exact cash.
We will take the GR92 to the left to the Iberic site, and the Foradada, then we will follow the “Camí de Ronda”. At the first cross way we will turn right to Cala Senià and Cala Canyers, from there we will see Cala Corbs, we can go down by the stairs. Back again at the “Camí de Ronda” we will arrive to Cala Estreta, we will reach it down by the stairs. Up again we will follow the “Camí Forestal”, and in Cala Senià we will take again the “Camí de Ronda” to the “Barraca d’en Dalí”, and back to the Platja de Castell. Those “cales”, ridges, rocks, small islands have their legends and stories related to battles, shipwreckeds, smugglings, as well as stories about artists, celebrities, and high society.
The last storms have made the ways rough, with stones, we can walk with not many problems, but It would be advisable for your ankles to take the sticks.
