Hi – just back from this walk which was superb. One comment on the description. On the track section after the zoo, there are two fords. The first one is not mentioned which was a bit confusing until we looked hard at the map. But overall great low level walk which we did on a day when the wind was too strong to want to go into the mountains.
We were staying in Lliber so did this walk before we left as an easy day. It is a pleasant walk, probably a third of it on tarmac roads that serve the villas dotted around the early part of the walk. The villas would be a good place to stay, the area is serviced by good roads, it is very quiet and scenic. We heard some squawking and screeching at one point and wondered what it was, it turned out to be a private zoo with birds and what sounded like small primates. As we walked around the outside of the property we could see a sea lion, donkey, llama, some kind of rams, all sorts. At the zoo the path is not that obvious but it is just to the left of the house as you walk towards it. The other walker comments about fords but to be clear they were completely dry at the time we walked.
