GR‑92 Garraf to Sitges Hike – Coastal Trail

About Garraf To Sitges Coastal Trail & Trinitat Viewpoint

This is an EASY 15 km linear walking route that begins at Garraf Renfe station and finishes at Sitges Renfe station, following a mix of rural roads and sections of the GR‑92 coastal trail. Although much of the route runs a few kilometres inland, it starts and ends in two coastal towns and offers several elevated viewpoints along the way.

Allow between 4 and 6 hours to complete the hike, depending on fitness level and how often you stop to enjoy the scenery.

Garraf is a small beach town with a marina, known for its LGBT‑friendly and nudist beaches. From Garraf station, the route climbs gently into the hills, passing the open mineral mine Molins Garraf Àrid. The mine extracts sands, aggregates, and minerals used for cement production, and the view into the stepped terraces of the quarry is striking, revealing the scale of this industrial operation.

At the end of this ascending path, lined with old stone markers, the route passes a small natural spring carved directly into the mountainside before reaching the historic Can Lluçà farmstead. Turn left here onto a gravel track that joins a quiet rural road winding through fields towards the Campdàsens hamlet, home to a small whitewashed church typical of the Garraf region.

Beyond the church, the rural road continues to the old Torre de Ca l'Amell (Torre de Can Granada), a defensive tower and farmstead. The descent towards the cement factory passes several abandoned industrial structures, including a tall stone chimney and remnants of a conveyor belt system. Along this stretch you begin to see views of the Vallcarca Cement Factory, operated by Cementos Portland Valderrivas, S.A.

After crossing beneath the C‑32 motorway, continue straight across the roundabout until you reach a small abandoned single‑storey house. Here, take the left turn that leads back into the forested hillside on a narrower mountain path ascending towards the Mirador de la Trinitat, a pergola viewpoint overlooking the Mediterranean.

A short walk further brings you to the whitewashed Ermita de la Trinitat, with its striking rough‑stone façade and one of the best coastal viewpoints on the Garraf to Sitges section of the GR‑92. The hermitage has recently gained new attention after being used as an exterior filming location for The Night Manager – Season 2. Although the storyline is set in Colombia, the hermitage appears as the church where the character Teddy grew up as an orphan. Its dramatic clifftop setting and panoramic sea views make it one of the most memorable points on the hike.

From here, the trail continues past the telecoms tower Emissora de l'Ermitaz. I spent a month working at this site installing a 6‑metre parabolic antenna that links mainland Spain to Mallorca via a beyond‑the‑horizon low‑frequency radio link. The views while working on the tower were spectacular.

Continue along the ridgeline path through patches of forest and scrubland. Breaks in the foliage offer sweeping views of Sitges and the Mediterranean. Follow the gravel track past the mountaintop houses until it transitions into a paved road that winds through the residential area down to a roundabout on the main road.

Cross the roundabout and head towards the Aiguadolç Sitges marina, where you can pick up the coastal path leading into Sitges. Before reaching the town centre, the route passes the Cementiri Municipal de Sant Sebastià, a beautiful walled cemetery overlooking the sea. After the cemetery, continue past Platja de Sant Sebastià before finishing at Sitges Renfe station.

Visiting Garraf To Sitges Coastal Trail & Trinitat Viewpoint

My recommended place to swim after the hike is Platja de Sant Sebastià, one of Sitges’ most scenic beaches. Behind the beach you’ll find several terrace restaurants, including a pizzeria and an Argentinian steak house—ideal for a post‑walk meal. The last trains from Sitges to Barcelona usually depart between 22:30h and 23:00h, giving you plenty of time to swim, relax, and enjoy dinner before heading home.

You can also swim at Garraf at the start of the hike, but I generally don’t recommend it. Starting the walk with salt drying on your skin can be uncomfortable once you begin climbing into the hills.

Hiking the GR‑92 Garraf to Sitges with a Dog

This route is excellent for hiking with a dog and generally presents no major difficulties. Some sections follow a rural road, but traffic is extremely rare. The first stretch towards Campdàsens passes through shrubland and occasional pine groves, where there is a low risk of encountering Pine Processionary Caterpillars in spring and early summer.

The descent to the quarry entrance is the only area where caution is needed. On weekdays, trucks may be operating, so it’s best to keep your dog on a lead here. The ascent through the pine forest towards the Ermita de la Trinitat and onwards to Sitges may also have Pine Processionary Caterpillars during the warmer months, so remain alert if hiking in spring or early summer.

Dogs are generally not permitted on Sitges beaches during the summer season (1st June to the last Sunday in September), except in designated dog zones. For this reason, I recommend doing this hike outside the peak summer months so your dog can enjoy a well‑earned swim at Platja dels Balmins or Platja de Sant Sebastià at the end of the route.

What to take with you for Garraf To Sitges Coastal Trail & Trinitat Viewpoint

This is an easy–medium walking route, but it still requires basic preparation. I normally hike it with a small daypack carrying the essentials, including a compact first‑aid kit. An emergency waterproof jacket is optional and depends on the weather forecast, but it’s useful outside the summer months.

Carry 2 to 3 litres of water, especially in warm weather, as there are no fountains or places to refill along the route. Snacks or a light lunch are also recommended, since the trail passes through rural and industrial areas with no services.

Footwear is important: I prefer ankle‑supporting boots because some sections of the path are rocky, uneven, or loose underfoot. Trail shoes are fine in dry conditions, but boots offer better stability on the steeper or gravelly parts of the GR‑92.

Getting to Garraf To Sitges Coastal Trail & Trinitat Viewpoint

Address: Estacio de RENFE, Garraf, 08860

Start the route at Garraf Renfe station on the R2 and R2 Sud lines. The hike finishes at Sitges on the same train line, making this one of the easiest linear routes in the Garraf Massif to access by public transport.

I recommend buying a single ticket to Garraf and a separate single ticket from Sitges back to Barcelona. The two stations are in different fare zones, and the Garraf ticket is slightly cheaper, so purchasing them separately avoids paying more than necessary.

Garraf station sits just a few minutes from the beach and the start of the climb into the hills. Sitges station, at the end of the route, is located in the town centre and is well connected with frequent trains back to Barcelona throughout the day and late into the evening.
