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
Trace the artistic footsteps of Salvador Dali through the Pyrenean foothills and along the Vermillion Coast on the "Footsteps of Dali" walking tour. Over seven self-guided days, amble from Collioure through Cerbère, Port de la Selva, and charming coastal villages, taking in both French and Spanish influences. Choose from inland or coastal walking routes each day, allowing for panoramic views, seaside swims, or cultural detours. The unique selling point: the flexibility to tailor your experience—follow in Dali’s inspiration, discover Catalan hospitality, and stay in atmospheric hotels nestled between the mountains and Mediterranean. This trip is ideal for those who appreciate both art and adventure.
Arrangements were all in order and hotel /restaurant choices were excellent and as described. The app works well (with the minor caveat that the details of the map disappear when you zoom in too close and when you go off track). We loved our walk on Costa Brava, because we could just focus on walking a truly gorgeous coast without any logistical worry.
A fun and interesting walk in a stunning location.
We did the Footsteps of Dali trip. Communication was great from the start. Transportation, accommodation, and meal arrangements all worked well. Nice to have route options to fit with the level of energy for the day.
Our Holiday was organized to perfection start to finish. The accommodations We’re very pleasant, comfortable and easy to find. Other than one minor hiccup, the luggage transfer was seamless. We felt taken care of throughout the entire trip. I would recommend them in the future.
UTracks “Footsteps of Dali” is a predominantly coastal walk from the very lovely French town Collioure to Cadeques in Spain. There are 2 routes to choose each day and each have different elevation and distance. On day 5 (the 4th day of walking) there is an option to climb up to a monastery. Try not to do this on the only day it is closed (as we did) - Monday. In my opinion the day between Cerbere and Llanca was the best - really pretty coastal scenery and included some rock hopping around the sea edge. The hotels were all family run and comfortable but usually a bit out of the centre. The luggage transfers worked well. (We didn’t have supplied luggage labels and so used sticky sports tape each day to label the next hotel name). Breakfasts were all excellent, dinners varied a bit - but they were adequate. I thought the trip was good value. The trails were not crowded and I recommend October as a good time for this hike. There is little shade so it would be extremely hot at the peak of summer.
