The adventure that started it all, 15 years ago. The wild Costa Brava coastline, medieval villages, hidden turquoise coves and world-class Catalan gastronomy.
This is the adventure that started it all — the very first NomaTrails route, run for over 15 years. A 7-day gourmet trail-running holiday along the wild Catalan coast, following the historic Camí de Ronda from cove to hidden cove.
You'll run medieval villages, pine-scented headlands and turquoise water, dropping down for a swim in the Mediterranean whenever the trail meets the sea. Nights are spent in characterful hotels — a converted seaside monastery, a rural farmhouse — with world-class Catalan cuisine and wine as much a part of the trip as the running.
It's our most accessible Vacation-level trip: varied but forgiving, ~100–120 km across seven running days that flex with the group. See the 2027 dates, or take on the mountains on our Pyrenees to the Med crossing.

Book your fit call with Cristina Or WhatsApp us"My son and I ran Costa Brava with Pablo. Each day was organized, scenic, and always included great history, accommodations and company. I've travelled in over 70 countries, and you will not find a better guide than Pablo."
"Everything I'd hoped and more. Pablo, Cristina, Andreu and Charo were phenomenal guides, organisers and just wonderful people. If you want amazing running but also to really experience the places you stop, this is the trip for you."
"One of our favourite trips of all time! The variety of accommodations — from a converted monastery over the sea to a farmhouse — and Michelin-starred meals. I can't say enough good things about this trip and about Pablo."
"From Girona to Cadaqués on foot. The vibrant locals, medieval villages and stunning coastline transformed Cataluña from a name on a map to a place of real meaning. Nothing but gratitude to Nomatrails."
"We ran from tiny Mediterranean town to tiny town, popping down to swim in the azure sea. You see so much more of the culture and landscape on foot. The accommodations were clean, the food wonderful and the locals welcomed us warmly."
"The best time ever! Costa Brava exceeded our expectations. Pablo and Cristina are the best and really care that everyone is having a good time — their enthusiasm for the culture and nature shows."
"A phenomenal experience! The running routes are unparalleled, the food and drink an equal part of it, and Pablo truly welcomes you into the regional culture. I can think of no better way to travel."
"You feel like old friends after just a few days. Running through wonderful places, learning something about yourself, a week of authentic memories. My wife and I are already thinking about when we can come back!"
"Seven days through the most beautiful countryside and dramatic coastlines, staying in fabulous hotels in picturesque villages, sublime local cuisine. Pablo easily adapted routes to our strengths. Highly recommend!"
This is where NomaTrails was born — Pablo and Cristina have run these coves for over 15 years, and it's still the trip they lead personally, start to finish. Expect their favourite coffee stops, the restaurants only locals know, and a week that feels like running with old friends.
This is our Vacation level — ~100–120 km (7 running days; distances flex a lot with the group) of trail running. A regular running routine is plenty — no need to be a super athlete.
Coastal Camí de Ronda paths, pine headlands, medieval cobbled streets and the occasional road link — plus plenty of chances to swim. Varied, scenic and accessible.
All accommodation, daily meals, expert local guides and full support. Flights not included.
Any reasonably fit runner who loves good food and beautiful coastline. It's our most accessible Vacation-level trip and routes flex to the group, so a regular running routine is plenty.
This was our very first route — we've run the Costa Brava for over 15 years, so every trail, cove and restaurant is dialled in.
Not at all — expect Mediterranean swims, medieval towns, Catalan history and Michelin-level dinners. The food and culture are half the trip.
Characterful local hotels — from a converted seaside monastery to a rural farmhouse — chosen for location and charm, not chains.
Absolutely — most runners travel solo and are part of a warm group from day one. Prices are based on double accommodation, so solo travellers may have a small single supplement.
