Overview — The Vibe and The Promise

This Isn’t a Tour. It’s , the Mediterranean on Foot.

Nomatrail adventures are for runners who want more than a finish time. On the Costa Brava, every stride ties clifftop singletrack to hidden coves, cobblestone lanes to pine-scented forest paths. You’ll run wild by day, then gather by the sea—tapas, market flavors, long-table dinners—with a tribe that feels like old friends.

Meet Your Guides

Pablo and Cristina.

For Pablo and Cristina, the Costa Brava isn’t a route on a map—it’s home. Cristina, born in Catalonia, has spent over a decade shaping this journey with care: boutique hotels with soul, table reservations that become memories, and the effortless warmth of Catalan hospitality from the moment you arrive. Pablo brings the heartbeat of the adventure: technical coastal singletrack, layers of history, and a love of food shared around long tables with a tribe that feels like friends. They’ve run these paths hundreds of times, from Girona’s ancient walls to the cliffs of Cap de Creus, and the wonder still catches their breath.

Together (and with their five children), they live what they lead—so every day flows with intention: trail first, culture always, details handled. The promise is simple: you won’t just visit the Costa Brava; you’ll belong to it for a while.
