CAP de CREUS NATURAL PARC
Salvador Dali's land of dreams
It covers over 13000 ha and boasts rich bio-diversity, a healthy marine ecosystem, endemic plants and flowers and exceptional landscapes.
The combination of both marine and inland environments, the amazing silhouettes of rocks sculpted by sea and wind and the contrasts in colour display a fascinating atmosphere of wild beauty.
It was main source of inspiration for Dali, whose house can be visited near Cadaquès, the perfect location for a leisurely break.
Architectural masterpieces like the Benedictine monastery Sant Pere de Rodes are also present.
Forget the image of "Costa Brava" as the place for mass tourism, crowded beaches and ugly coastal buildings! Along with the French Vermillion Coast, the rocky coastline of Catalunya
provides more than
100 km of scenic
footpaths linking up
panoramic capes,
lonely creeks and
picturesque ports.
Pyrenean and Mediterranean influences favoured
a rich variety of forests under the protection of
a Nature Reserve: green oak, cork oak, chestnut
and beech trees and many more.
The popular path GR10 also crosses the pastures
of the border crests (up to 1250m). Walkers are
enjoying striking panoramas over plains and mountains
from a medieval watchtower.
The scenic way down meanders to the picturesque ports of Collioure
and Port Vendres across the terraces of Banyuls vineyards.
A selection
of the most
inspiring
footpaths
running along
the rocky coast:
from Roses and Empuries to Cap de St Sebastià;
from the lovely ports of Llafranc and Calella to
the rich-looking S'Agaro and St Feliu de Guixols.
Doing the trip in the bright light and colourful Spring/early Summer or in the delicate atmosphere of a lazy Autumn, you will never forget this!
From the abandoned hills of the hinterland to the lively atmosphere of the little ports, the Vermillion Coast and Costa Brava are providing the very best of this rocky coast.
