Hike in Cap de Creus

Hike in Cap de Creus offer you a two hour hike around the Costa Brava.

Hike in Cap de Creus on a natural park located in the spainsh peninsula and a headland located at the far northeast of Catalonia , some 25 kilometres (16 mi) south from the French border.

The cape lies in the municipal area of Cadaqués, and the nearest large town is Figueras, capital of the Alt Empordà and birthplace of Salvador Dalí. Cap de Creus is the easternmost point of Catalinia and therefore of mainland Spain and the Iberian Peninsula.

The region is frequently swept by awful north wind Tramuntana (beyond mountains) which has caused many naval disasters.

Cadaqués is the most well known village, home of artists and writers, with sophisticated atmosphere, near port Lligat where Dalí built his home in a paradise small bay.

The peninsula has an area of 190 square kilometres (73 sq mi) of an extraordinary landscape value; a windbeaten very rocky dry region, with almost no trees, in contrast with a seaside rich in minuscule creeks of deep blue sea to anchor. Mountains are the eastern foothils of the Pyrenees, the natural border between France and Spain. The region is frequently swept by awful north wind “tramuntana” (beyond mountains) which has caused many naval disasters.

Sant Pere de Rodes stands out at 500 metres (1,600 ft) of altitude, with views of the Cap and the Pyrenees. It is an 11th-century monastery whose first structures date from about 750
