Tramuntana is a strong and cold wind from the North side. Its polar origin causes speed up to 200 km/h. It's typical in Alt Empordà shire, if you spend some night in Voramar Hotel you will hear it during all the night, it might be scary at all !!!

Day 166 - 24/02/2014 : Voramar Hotel pool in L'Escala
It's time to spend some days explaining more sights about L'Escala, this stunning town in Alt Empordà shire.
When we though to stay in L'Escala we tried to find something special, and I think we did : Voramar Hotel. Don't think in a comfortable 5 star hotel, it isn't at all, however there are some topics to be considered and above all the seawater pool in front of the reception desk and the unforgettable sunrises from the seaview rooms.
We will enter on sunrises scenes in following days but today let's take a look to the fantastic swimming pool. Governing the seaside walk the pool is full-filled every evening with new sea water, to preserve clean and cold !!!
If you are staying in the hotel is a good plan to spend some day in the pool to avoid the crowd at any beach.
At night the pool is converted in a quiet pub. Would you like any beer?

Day 165 - 23/02/2014 : Natural window on Fornells path
Leaving Port d'Esclanyà straight to Fornells the Cami de Ronda begins to enter in some tunnels with special windows to the coves and the nature.
From one of these windows we can take a wonderful picture of Port d'Esclanyà surrounded by the pines and listening the typical cicadas sounds.
A few meters after the windows are located we will arrive at Fornells when the atmosphere change to be such a elitist town giving you the reason to come back to Aiguablava and enjoy the views in opposite order.
Definitely, a walk to remember !

Day 164 - 22/02/2014 : Port d'Esclanyà boats
We continue walking on the Cami de Ronda until reach the beach of Port d'Esclanyà. As we said yesterday, we are talking about a rocky beach and here is the evidence.
Despite of its rough aspect this cove will delight people looking forward quiet beaches without crowd around, undoubtedly there isn't the most comfortable choice but why not to spend some day far to the noise.
Looking at the picture most people are enjoying in their boats, either inside or taking outboard boats to go sailing, we shouldn't forgot sailing has a big practice in Costa Brava.
Will we probably go sailing in the future with our own boat? Time to time.

Day 163 - 21/02/2014 : Port d'Esclanyà
After leaving Aiguablava range we will enter in Fornells area and the first view we'll see is Port d'Esclanyà.
This tiny harbor serves people staying in Fornells to moor their boats, in fact Esclanyà is considered as Begur cove too. You shouldn't think in sandy beaches talking about Esclanyà, you can take a bath at all, but the beach is plenty of rocks and stones, however this mean the crowd avoid it ;-)
The problem is the seabed is plenty of rocks too, therefore you must come with crocs to avoid stub yours toes against the rocks.
But, what about an evening in a quiet Costa Brava cove without crowd disturbing you?

Day 162 - 20/02/2014 : Aiguablava from GR92 path walk
After walking only a few meters from the start, the GR92 path will show us the beauty of Costa Brava and AiguaBlava range.
The green of the trees, basically Mediterranean pines, will share the nature with turquoises waters and blue skies. Far on the north east the beach, with a lot of crowd in summer which you won't listen when you move away in Cami de Ronda.
It's typical to see people diving while you are walking on the path, the clean water deserves take a look to the seabed, other activity to do in this fantastic place, isn't?

Day 161 - 19/02/2014 : GR92 path walk, Cami de Ronda, a nature spectacle
From the left on the Aiguablava beach starts one the most spectacular segment of Cami de Ronda, also known as GR92 road.
Green will be the prevailing color : from the trees and from the water. The spotless seabed will be able to test how the magnificent landscape is, the peaceful of the land will be unforgettable.
The best time of the day to start this walk is after dinner, when the sun is trying to hide behind the mountains and won't disturb your walk.
Don't forget your camera !!!
