The route reencuentra here with the coast to arrive to one of his more interesting points: the group of Empúries, formed by the small mediaeval enclosure of Sant Martí d'Empúries and by the yacimiento archaeologic. Founded in the year 550 to.C., Empúries was the first Greek colony of the Iberian peninsula and, later, roman city.
In summer can access to the yacimiento from an entrance situated beside the GR, that goes through a pleasant way of round between the ruins and the beach, where still can see rests of the ancient Greek port. Very near we find L'Scale, sailor population known by the quality of his anchovies.

We find us in the heart of a zone cuajada of places of big interest, like the populated Iberian of Ullastret, the house of Gala Dalí in Púbol or the mediaeval populations of Monells, Cruïlles or Peratallada. But the way carries us to another population of mediaeval origin, Pals, from where adentra to the macizo of Begur, goes through Can Pou of Ses Garites, an interesting farm fortificada góticorenacentista, and arrives to the location of Begur.
