Barcelona to Nice?

[grdemedeiros]

We are considering a trip to Barcelona next summer (June/July 2025) to visit friends. From there we'd like to extend our vacation with a thru-hike. Is it possible to walk to Nice on an established trail ala Portugal's Fishermen's Trail, or Italy's Cinque Terra? TIA for your recommendations.

One would assume you are planning to try to walk along the coast of the Mediterranean to Nice? There are plenty of resources for GR routes in France.

The European Long Distance path E12 will fit your bill, but it's not yet completed. You could cobble together some existing paths, like the GR92

Something like that, yes. Although we would be happy with a route that meanders inland, too. We really enjoyed the variety of the Portuguese Camino where we walked the Coastal, then Central, then Spiritual Variant in sequence.

We so appreciated all the advice on the Portuguese Camino from folks in this forum that we're starting our research here. Nothing like learning from those with personal experiences.
