Walking in the foothills of the Pyrenees
Exploring the stunning Vermillion coast on foot
Experiencing interesting villages and towns enroute
Enjoying excellent local cuisine and the warm hospitality of family run hotels

Start in Collioure and end in Southern France, the tour "Footsteps Of Dali" is a self-guided walking trip that takes 7 days. You will be traveling through Girona, Cerbère, Port De La Selva and 4 other destinations in Spain and France. "Footsteps Of Dali" is a private tour which includes accommodation in hotels, transport, meals and others. Please see the package includes section for further details.

Descend from the mountains to the sea, exploring coastal villages that once inspired Salvador Dali. Follow in the footsteps of the surrealist painter, staying in hotels situated in charming country towns and coastal fishing villages. The journey begins by crossing the foothills of the Albères, the section of the Pyrenees where the mountains gradually give way to the sea. As you amble along well defined trails, there are magnificent views beyond the rolling hills and terraced vineyards to the sea. Marvel at the stunning Vermillion coast as you arrive by foot in Spain. Discover the coastal villages that inspired many artists over the centuries including the great Salvador Dali. Catalan hospitality provides a further dimension to the walk as you reach the Mediterranean coast. Each walking day there are two possible routes (a higher inland route or a coastal route, and on some days an additional variant) giving you flexibility and a chance to take in the sights, swim in the sea or ascend a high ridge for panoramic views of this stunning pocket along the French / Spanish border.
