Though it's only a short train ride from the bustling city of Barcelona, it feels like you've been transported to an entirely new and different kind of place. You enjoyed that scenic journey just this morning admiring the stunning views along the way. On one side, the train's large windows showcase the sparkling Mediterranean Sea, reaching out to the horizon. It almost felt like you were floating above the water. The windows on the other side were filled with striking mountains and charming little towns.

You can almost hear the refreshing sound as Doomang clanked together open glass bottles of ice cold soda. As you walk, the marina and sailors begin to drift out of view.

Starting point is 00:05:05 Soon the town becomes but a memory as you slowly immerse yourself in the idyllic beauty of Costa Brava. You can smell the salty sea and feel the summer breeze caress your skin. Though you are indirectly on the beach, all the same sensations reach you here on the trail. Over time, your path begins to flatten. Though you're still walking near the cliffside, you realize that you're no longer ascending. You take a moment to catch your breath with one big, deep inhale that you slowly release.
