Route of coves and scrubland
Cap de Creus is a natural area of wild and unique beauty, located at the easternmost tip of the Iberian Peninsula, in the province of Girona, Catalonia. This area, declared a Natural Park in 1984, is a geological and scenic jewel where the force of the wind, the Tramuntana, has sculpted whimsical shapes into the rocks, creating an almost lunar landscape that contrasts with the intense Mediterranean blue. It is a place where the mountains plunge directly into the sea, forming an irregular coastline full of steep cliffs, small hidden coves with crystal-clear waters, and rugged islets. Its topography makes it a paradise for nature lovers, with an exceptional geological, botanical, and faunal richness, both terrestrial and marine.

When summer is about to end, when the autumn lights ignite the sky over Cap de Creus and illuminate the peaks of the last part or the first of the Pyrenees, where they meet the sea, some illustrious characters of Ampurdan piracy emerge from the sea to come ashore.The months of being guided by the tramuntana wind are left behind, and they embark on the paths of bandits and smugglers that run through the inner part of Cap de Creus. It is time to rest in the most hidden coves of the Mar d'Amunt, time to take refuge in the coolness of the caves, to explore the ruins that dominate the ridges, to wash off the salt with the fresh water that is born discreetly from the slopes of the mountains.The pirates turn into bandits and invite you to join them on their journey through the wonderful secret treasures of the inland, from where the sea meets the land to where the land meets the sky. Disembark with us toward these new discoveries.
