The route heads south from Sant Francesc Xavier through farmland, with almond trees, vineyards and fig trees inside dry stone walls. The last stretch crosses woodland and then turns suddenly arid: the tip of the cape is rocky and dry, with low rosemary, fennel and thyme, though it was forest until it was cut down for charcoal.

Ahead stands Far des Cap de Barbaria, the lighthouse at the end of the road in Julio Medem's film Lucía y el sexo. To its right is the way to the cave that also appears in the film, and on clear days you can see the mountains of the Spanish mainland.
