Great Mediterranean Coast Hike in Occitanie, France | Day 3 – Nature reserve Cerbère-Banyuls
After having a really nice rest the day before in the camping La Pine we woke up to the new day all ready to hit the trail again. We had a really quiet night here listening to nightingales and we liked the camping overall. It is located on different levels with lots of space for the tents and lots of big trees so it almost feels like you’re in the forest. And it was nearly empty in that season in the end of May. The morning was quite foggy and humid and it looked like it could be a rainy day which we were really afraid of because our video…

Great Mediterranean Coast Hike – Day 2 | Anse de Paulilles, Banyuls-sur-Mer
After an exhausting first day we slept very well and we woke up at a sunrise to an incredibly beautiful scenery of the little bay, swaying yacht and calm sea waters. The atmosphere was very peaceful. And in these moments you realize that nothing can compare with the wild camping spots, they are always special and memorable. That day we took it slow and with no hurry we had the substantial breakfast (luckily we had the leftover veggies from yesterday), got everything packed and finally started walking. Our plan for the day was to make no more than 7 km until our camping site in Banyuls-sur-Mer. First we walked along…

Great Mediterranean Coast Hike – Day 1 | Argelès-sur-Mer, Collioure, Port-Vendres
It was our first major hike that we ever did, we ended up doing 80+ km and it took us 7 days to accomplish. We chose to go backpacking, carrying our tent, and stay in the camping sites on the way. This hike is great to do in spring(May-June) or autumn(September-October), as the heat in summer can be pretty extreme. We enjoyed so much doing it in the late May-beginnings of June with all the blossom and smells around along with favorable weather conditions that we would highly recommend it to everyone. The hike can be broken up in as many parts as you wish by doing as many kms…

Garden of Eden and Magical Castle | Day 2 of Camino del Norte
It was the first complete Day of our Camino when we did around 17 kms and walked through the village Saint Jean de Luz, Ciboure and Sokoa and got to the outskirts of the French border city Hendaye. This day we already felt better and more energized not in our best physical state but much better than yesterday. There’s also the fact of adjustment to the walking routine when your body needs time to get into the rhythm, normally it takes several days for us. So we woke up fresh and ready to hit the trail. The whole day the trail was quite easy partly on the pavement partly on…
