This outside exhibition will centre on the main aspects that make up the history of S’Agaró and the Ronda Way.
To get to know S’Agaró and its most outstanding points at an architectural and landscape level, an itinerary has been adapted through information panels following the Ronda Way, one of the most visited places in the area. Its route offers wonderful views of the Costa Brava in all its splendor, which hundreds of people enjoy every day.
The objective of this itinerary is to connect all the aspects of this residential project through architecture, the geography of the environment, social and cultural life and its history, among others. One of the most emblematic points of interest is the monument commemorating of Josep Ensesa Gubert, located in the square of Mirador.
The option of group guided tours with prior reservation will also be available, organized by the Castell d’Aro-Platja d’Aro-S’Agaró City Council.
At the access to the exhibition circuit there is an explanatory panel with information about the route. Once the itinerary is completed in the Church of Nostra Senyora de l’Esperança, the tour ends inside the Hostal de La Gavina S’Agaró and the S’Agaró Hotel, where you can see the evolution and trajectory of these two tourist establishments in an exhibition..

Walkroute de Ronda
Documenting the development of the construction of the path, which has had to overcome orography full of stones and precipices.
