Where the Pyrenees dive into the Mediterranean Sea – a hike to Cap de Creus
Am Cap de Creus You will find a unique bizarre, sparsely overgrown landscape of wild beauty that has been called Parc Natural for several years Cap de Creus on the water and land side is protected. Here, the easternmost Pyrenean foothills dive under the surface of the sea and continue to the seabed in dramatic cliffs and steps to a depth of 50 meters. Surrealism seems to have become real during a hike to Cap de Creus.
Port Lligate – Dalí
We drive past Port Lligat and dalis residential building A piece of the road towards Cap de Creus. After the last newly built houses, we park on the left in a small parking lot on the side of the road. Here the Camí de Ronda branches off to the right towards the coast. Hiking shoes, bathing suits and drinking water bottles are mandatory on this excursion.
We, too, always succumb to the uniqueness of this rock world, carved by the sculptor nature with the tools Tramuntana, Sun and Sea. When you get involved, you discover a spectacle of fantasy like Dalí’s mythical creatures.
The lighthouse at Cap de Creus
Before us, our goal appears behind an ascent: The lighthouse at Cap de Creus. In the hidden rocky bays below us, there are a few small yachts rocking. It is easier to discover small paradises by boat. For a short jump into the cool water in a lonely bay we would have to conquer narrow, steep paths down to the sea. We save our strength better for the climb to the CAP.

Restaurant Cap de Creus
At the easternmost point of Spain, the Englishman Chris has been running this for a few years Restaurant Cap de Creus. Here you can take a snack on the panoramic terrace with breathtaking views over the sea and rocks. We order salad and grilled sardines. After all, we have to strengthen ourselves for the way back. We’ll start it around 4:00 p.m.
Platja de Sant Luis
The sun is now hiding behind thin veils of clouds from time to time. Downhill we make faster progress. At the end of the hike we climb down into the small bay of Platja de Sant Luis. The pebble beach is deserted. We jump into the cool sea, exhausted. A real blessing after the exertion of the day.
refreshed we end an evening stroll through the streets of Cadaqués to do. We enjoy the evening sun in the bar on the beach at Cadaqués with a cold beer. Surrounded by locals and tourists, you feel like you’re on vacation – far away from everyday stress.
