Since time immemorial, the coast has been crisscrossed by paths used for communication between coastal towns or as escape routes from shipwrecks. They have been dotted with watchtowers to guard against possible pirate attacks, or used as the emblematic coastal path, day and night, by the Guardia Civil and smugglers. <\/font><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may think that the Catalan coast is overcrowded and touristy, but nothing could be further from the truth. In its 580 km length, from Cap de Creus to the Ebro delta, we can find steep, rocky stretches with small coves interspersed between the cliffs, as in the well-known Costa Brava; dune fields with delta lagoons, as at the mouth of the Ter; low coasts formed by the sedimentary contribution of the rivers, such as the fantastic Ebro delta; or the coast of the Maresme, among many other attractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that's not counting the strip of mountains along the coast: the limestone massifs of Montgr\u00ed and Garraf, the dense cork oak forests of Montnegre and Corredor, les Gavarres and the Ardenya massif, the deltaic views of the Montsi\u00e0 mountain range and the natural spaces of Marina, Collserola and Ordal, just a stone's throw from the media-rich Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we suggest five proposals for the history and nature of these paths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
