Recommended service: transfer to Figueres with sufficient waiting time for the museum and a stroll through the town centre, or a staggered round trip if you wish to add lunch on La Rambla before returning.

Recommended service: drop-off at viewpoints or trailheads with a scheduled pick-up at another point in the park, adjusting times according to your chosen route and sea or wind conditions to make the most of the best daylight hours.
