Did this trail yesterday.We used the coastal path and the road.
The scenery all over is stunning. You can see the sea and mountains everywhere you go.
Very pretty and varied selection of maritime flowers along the way.
Definitely one to revisit soon.
A grateful thank you to the local community!

Lovely well maintained trail. The first two thirds are along the coast and the last section takes you along the road. Not recommended for little legs or wheels. Amazing views and wild flowers.
