The Camí de Ronda

Of all the public spaces in S’Agaró, this is the one that has become the most widely known and popular. It is reckoned that more than a million pedestrians pass along it every year. It runs from Sant Pol beach to Sa Conca, covers two kilometres and a half and can be crossed in about 25 minutes.

It is widely regarded as one of the most picturesque and convenient paths of its kind, due to its uniqueness and the stunning views it offers of the coastline of S’Agaró.

In 1942, Josep Ensesa decided to create it and pay for it on public land. It was designed by the architect Francesc Folguera and was a truly ambitious project to overcome the unevenness of the terrain, with a meandering route following the chalets and cliffs, integrating the vegetation and the terrain.

Its solid granite walls and the limited resources that existed at the time to work in places that were so difficult to access give an idea of the merit of executing this work.

It was a truly ambitious work, filled with slopes, railings, porches, access to the coves (integrating the vegetation and the orography) and, above all, offering magnificent perspectives of the coast. Josep Pla dedicated an article with great praise in the magazine S’Agaró in 1954. The stairs of the Plaça del Mirador remained pending, which were not built until 1990, designed by Lluís Sibils.

The Ministry of the Environment carried out the last comprehensive remodeling in 2000-2001, with the access stops to Sa Conca and, since then, the Camí de Ronda has been named after Josep Ensesa Gubert.
