A wild walk along Spain’s empty coast – where the desert meets the sea

Set aside your typical outdoor routine for an unforgettable adventure: this walk along Spain’s southern coast, known as "The Walk of the de la Cruz," takes you through miles of rugged desert and crystal-clear coastline, all protected under a UNESCO biosphere reserve. The journey begins at Cala de San Pedro, a serene beach overlooked by remnants of an underground hippy commune, and ends at Agua Amarga, offering a breathtaking view of Cala del Plomo before your return to civilization. Along the way, you’ll face steep climbs and vast landscapes that feel like your own private European desert, untouched by mass tourism but alive with history and hidden gems.
